New Low Pressure Launcher

This is the latest launcher I've come up with.
It runs at relatively low pressures but is still able to launch projectiles of varying densities quite some distance... :shock:
It's been cleverly designed to fire in multiple directions, sometimes simultaneously. :?
Tell me what you think!

The fit and finish is top notch! It appears to be a coaxial design, right? Load from one end and out through then center it goes!

These designs can make quite a bit of noise and require a great deal of cleaning before and after shots. I suspect both have to do with the rather large amount of fuel required to keep it running.

I do have to say that this is one of the finer launchers on the site. And the build came so naturally.....

I have two launchers like this myself, but they are broken in and upgraded enough that I've actually considered downgrading :lol:

I had a lot to do with the 'conception' of the launcher, (I hope!) but I have to give a lot, well, most, umm, just about all, okay, ALL the credit for the fine build job to my darling wife.
And she said she'd never understand what I see in spudguns :roll: :wink:

Edit: Time spent making it? Well, I don't want to brag, but it was my quickest build job to date! ...by a long time... ...no, really, it was quick... I'd say it was a record! :lol: :lol: :lol:

edit: Don't lie i know for a fact your wife spent at least 5 months on this build(possibly more) :lol: :roll: :lol: You only spent a few moments, and then she did all the hard work. Although i must note she couldn't have done it without you

happy rag!!!!!!

I wouldn't say there's any guarantee of that at all with modern medicine. The earliest survived birth was at 5 months - although survival rates that premature are very low. (It's about 50% survival at 5 and half months - but at 7 months or more, the survival rates are pretty damn good.)

Anyway, if gestation was over 37 weeks, it's not considered a premature birth - and that's only 8 and a half months. So, 9 months is certainly not a sure thing.

You still have time to enter your new launcher into the penetration contest? Instead of plywood, the box o truth may be how many towels it can soak through. :D

I would vote for that one anyday. Nice build, great presnetation, looks flawless.

Brian already made one, but I'm guessing this one won't be sawn off :D

Congratulations :)
