I still recognize some user names on here, so everyone can't have left.

For all of those that don't know me, I used to post regularly on the spudtech forum, and I stopped around the time the spudtech forum closed down, and people moved here. I might have made some posts on this forum, but I can't really remember.

So how many of you are still hanging around? What great discoveries have been made in the spudgunning world lately? Did anyone ever get around to actually build a BB minigun?! (I remember there was a LOT of talk about this!).

I still play with spudguns from time to time. I have moved around a bit, and I now live in the middle of a big city, so no spudguns for me at the moment, but I do still have the ones I made in Norway, where I have lots of space!

Beautiful page PCguy!

Kind regards
The Blight

PS. If its the wrong forum, please feel free to move the topic.

No working BB miniguns to my knowledge but feel free to trawl through the finished cannon sections for some impressive projects ;)

A virtual form of "currency" that increases with post count, virtually useless though so don't bother ;)

More adults possibly, also it seems to be there is a very large increase in newbies lately, some good, some not so much

Ah, well I will just ignore it then :)

They have to start somewhere, and it's better that they learn about it here, then try and figure it out themselves I guess. Using the wrong materials can result in injury.

I have noticed that more people have gotten their hands on machine tools. Some are even machinists by trade. Makes for some pretty nice launchers.

I have a used M72 that I'm going to put a pneumatic launcher inside. Was thinking maybe I should make it a combustion instead. Maybe with some sort of shell. It's pretty far down the list of projects I want to make, so it will probably take some time.

Further up the list is a 200bar (3000psi) compressor for my paintball guns. Maybe when that one is done, or maybe I will start it as a summer project. Thats what happens when you have more projects then you have time.

Possibly because all the teenagers you knew previously have turned into adults. It happens.

Doesn't seem like theres that many left actually, but I guess so.
