Goto the theory forums and click on untested ammo, it should have what you are looking for.

Personaly, I think it's retarded to have put something titled "<a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... ">untested ammo</a>" in the official section... you know, on the premis that we have an 'ing clue what we are talking about, something which this doesn't convey very well.
Attempts at constructing it have, to my knolage, preformed rather poorly; it tended to open while it was mere dozens of yards from the barrel, and then it stoped very quickly, and damaged the projectile
(note the singular; I'v only heard of one person doing this)

Yea, Id much rather watch the projectile fade into the horizon than watch it float back to earth 50 feet from its luanch point. But if someone makes a succesfull one, props.
