ARES-216ci now with video(updated)

[mtronic]

umm I'm not sure on exact figures but at 110psi with a decent potato at least 200m. I can't see it leave the barrel and can only just see it at about 50 m out. I'm using my video cam for the pics, its a jvc everio gzm 505

Yeh the barrel knife wasn't measured exactly I just started cutting with a hack saw. Its bevelled so its actually sharp, I rammed a massive potato too hard and gouged a chunk of skin out of my knuckle on it

The problem with the valve, pvc, was with they way I was filling it(not enough air flow to seal it). I fixed that problem by getting myself a big air compressor.

@ JSR: perhaps I should have painted it periwinkle blue?

Your cannon looks pretty good and powerful. It reminds me of a watermelon.

Here's a thought: You ever shot a melon with a real firearm? (the effects) You should shoot one with this beast and show us the affects.

Hmm interesting theory hubb017 I have to wait till wednesday, thats the start of my weekend so I shall check my local fruit shop for a melon

You mean as in like thishttp://youtube.com/watch?v=RoW8nHIVuRk[url]

[Hubb]

If it was an exploding melon, then yes. Shoot it with something big and heavy.

your link took me to a page that said:

The url contained a malformed video id.

How about this, melons versus the Desert Eagle

[mtronic]

^ thanks jsr

hmm I just clicked it too and it gave the same msg, however it plays without any problems from my favourite list

I was thinking of a 150 grm spray can with frozen water as the ammo in question. It fits perfectly down the barrel. Look out for the dmg vid as I will compile an array of destruction I've already got a 3ltr milk bottle getting pwnd by a lemon

Thanks for all the feed back

[Hubb]

In your video, is that a .357mag?

Yeah, I don't know why but I got tickled at the DE video; that music with the melons going downhill is just classic.

[mtronic]

if by my video you mean me shooting then no, I, sadly don't own a hand gun. its just a vid I found once. The gun is a S and W m500 to the best of my knowledge.

It's the intro to the classic 2001 A space odessy.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that

The gun in the other video is this motherhugger with over 2,000 foot pounds behind its half-inch slug

[WOW!!]

It looks great, only thing I would change is to raise the support up a little so that there is less stress on the 90*'s.

[mega_swordman]

I have to say that there is something deeply satisfying about watching watermelons exploding. Nice gun too; although I personally would call for a different support to make it look straighter.

[TwitchTheAussie]

Of course if I'd known he was a gypsy bare knuckle boxing champion I'd never have chosen to fight

Correct me if Im wrong and tell me the name of the movie . Also um Prince Hazza hook me up with Kate?

[mtronic]

the angle isnt that bad, its the angle I took it at. I was about 3m above it an about 1-2m behind it so it makes it look wierd in the pic. There isnt much stress on the joints. But thanks for the advice and feed back.
