I came up with the name for this little cannon(if it can be called that) after seeing iknowmy3tables' Deus Ex Machina.So enjoy.
I picked the Super Launcher at the dollar tree. My best friend bet me that I couldn't make a paintball LAW launcher for under $5.Guess what I won.Then to save pride he said I couldn't get a tank out with it.Needless to say my best friends pride has been hurt recently.

No I'm just a joker and thought I'd make a parody of a gun as nice as yours.

Dang perverted Aussies :shock: It works great for $1 and some tape. Nothing compared to the Goat gun but it shoots 60 ft. or so.Fun to threaten people with.They laugh until you hit them in the head with the lead ball :lol:
