(4th) Smallest Combustion!!! On this site
Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:55 pm
I made this combustion to beat bigbob12345's mini combustion. I did so and then some. this monster is a whopping 4" long! uses butane.
supplies used:
long-nosed lighter igniter
3/4 inch section from a bic pen (chamber)
2 inch section from the ink tube from the pen (barrel)
small nut for the barrel
some electrical tape to hold it all together
projectile: 1/16" sections of 1/64" wire.
its a break-barrel gun so i fuel it from the front. This thing was a b*tch to find the right fuel mixture. took me like 50 tries before finding the right one. And i know i didn't use pressure rated parts but...I'll risk it. (lol) I'm the dare devil type, so I could care less if it blows up in my face, after all....its only a face (being sarcastic because of its size....sounds like a mosquito fart when it goes off).
enjoy! I only got 4 good shots off of it that went about 8-12".
If anyone would like to take the challenge to try to beat me, you are more than welcome. its a lot harder than it looks. bigbob12345 knows what I'm talking about, lol.
btw, see bigbob's new avatar? that was me. lol. made it like 20 mins ago.
anyway, enjoy the cannon!
