HEHEHEH! The title says it all. I am thinking about making the ultimate damage vid. Well..at least the ultimate hand held cannon damage vid hopefully.
I want to send an 1 1/2" steel ball with a nice, strong sabot down the barrel of the Venom (in my sig) at a nasty 3X. That should send it at 500fps down range, blasting through anything that gets in its way. I envision concrete blocks blasting into pieces, several sheets of 1" plywood giving way to the fast moving, heavy round. Sound like fun?!?!

I'm really looking forward to it!! DAMAGE

It sounds like the start of a recipe for a broken arm to be honest. But as I don't know the weight of the Venom, I can't do recoil calculations to know what to expect.

You should never ignore the potential for recoil to be dangerous.

Rag is right...ask around here for spudinator if he's still around here and ask him about the "tales of the mauler and the frozen apple"

Yeah, you might want to slowly move up the mass of your projectiles, especially if you move up to 3x...and continue to handhold it.

I second that. I got a bad bruise when I moved from oranges to a full Gateraid in the 3 inch barrel on my 2 inch valve air cannon. Only 80 PSI about knocked me on my butt, even though I was expecting it and leaned into it. It would have helped tremendously if I had removed my keyring from my pocket. Ouch!
