If I was you I would build a smaller scale version and learn a little bit about hybrids before i go jumping to the big boys Definitely give it some consideration. Build a small one if you haven't built a hybrid before. Granted I haven't built a hybrid before, but when i do it'll definitely be a sma...

Rabble rabble rabble rabble!

Gatling gun. Not chain gun. Does this mean that Doom got it wrong?

JSR, the flicker on your hs videos aren't as bad as before. Are you using Halogen lamps now?

Are fireworks legal on the forum? You may want to check that out, bro. Ballin video. It needs some tunes though. Maybe something Sousa-ish?

On the UltimateSpudGun website they shoot those things through almost anything and pull them out of the rubble and reuse them with very reliable results. I've talked with Mike from ultimatespudgun about ordering some custom 3" rounds for our ME1-05H Howitzer . Will probably get those in withing a fe...

Pretty nifty gun you have. I really like the way these burst disk air guns work. Have you experimented with different layers on the burst disks to up the pressure in the chamber, or would there be too many variables to have to work out? I've never made a burst disc type gun, but would love to give i...

How much pressure is the material you're using rated at? That would probably be the deciding factor on how much pressure you'll be able to shoot your gun at.

So I may have come across a more centrailzed location to have a spud-fest. It will be much more convenient for those who live in northwest AL, West TN, East AR, and Northeast LA. It is located in Grenada, MS off of I-55 with a couple of choices for lodging. It will hopefully happen right around the ...

That sounds about right. What material will you be using for a burst disk, and how will you fix it in your gun?

My brother and I are working on a jet kart project and whenever we need metal or stuff from a scrap yard we just walk into the office part and say, "We need this". It's a metal scrap yard that has everything from 1" plate to 1" steel tubing. They usually will refer you to someone in the back. No pro...

That's cool. We're looking into building a cheapy-esque hybrid. We're cannibalizing one of our high pressure air cannons to build the chamber for the hybrid. No clue what we'll use for the barrel, but copper looks to be the gold standard on here, so we'll probably wind up using copper. Your gun look...

Great rifle! I've been scanning the pages watching the videos (my neck hurts now) and reading up on this from the metal bolt to the new nylon one. Very very neat gun and it looks like it works great! Do you have any idea of the fps you're getting? Have you used the GGDT?

Nifty. What type of circuit are you using to ignite the gun, and how are you isolating your igniter from the metal of the chamber?
