Actually, too much solder just clogs up the internals of the joint, so it needs to be done sparingly. With a properly cleaned and fluxed joint, done with a fairly powerful blowtorch (a pencil flame one will not produce as strong a joint), and done carefully, you should easily be able to put 300 psi ...

There is no way SpudFiles could get bad media, even if someone specifically said on the news that "SpudFiles is an evil website that tells people how to construct weapons", people would look and realize that it is NOT! Actually, I reckon 99% or more of people would just take the TV's word for it. T...

That would be a good one. See if we can stop the ranting that's going on in that other thread at the moment.

A 30x hybrid mix, even without detonation would risk the rupture of the chamber. With detonation, you'd have a lethal failure. But, please don't take the word of several highly knowledgable and intelligent people in this field... If you are certain that a repeated 30x mix would not harm the steel, t...

Never has the statement:
"Knowledge is a dangerous thing, but ignorance is fatal." been more appropriate.

Ok, Mythspudders it is then.

So, now all that is needed is someone prepared to pay for a domain name... and a decent logo.

Well, obviously you start with the simple ones that only total newbs believe, like: There is a myth amongst some people that a combustion spudgun is more powerful the more fuel you put in it. and: If you put too much fuel in a combustion, it can explode. Then you move on to the questions that newbs ...

Me too. Although I sometimes just build them in my head instead.

im going to use that howister round lying in my friends yard. Check it's decommisioned first though. There are high numbers of cases of people (unwittingly) using live shells as doorstops, or mantelpiece ornaments. @Frankrede: If you have a wall thickness measurement, and an accurate ID measurement...

There's this NZ guy I saw on some gun forum, and he made a .22 gun that looks like a pen, all machined perfectly, its even bolt action. I sent him an email and told him to drop by, so hopefully he will. That's incredible construction work that guy's done, but don't the majority of countries have st...

We need a mix between "Spudfiles," "Mythbusters" and "Will it Blend?" : Blendmythfiles!

Just Spudbusters would work - or possibly Mashbusters or Mythspudders.

There are only two complaints I can possibly make about my local hardware store: 1) They don't have the prices on the shelves, but as they change them so regularly to keep them competative compared to nationwide chains (and even many internet sites), that's something you accept. 2) They don't open o...

If this would never work, (I'm looking at you, joannaardway :D ) then just ignore this. Slight problem. People seem to think that things like that can be "caught". It's just spent a few feet accelerating at a thousand G or more. It's not going to stop cleanly in a few fractions of an inch. Energy i...
