The damage is great! I like the fire estinguisher damage best.
But I still like the green scissors the best.

Congratulations! You have received my 1000th post!
I have concluded that I am now officially lame and will take a break from sf after this.
That's a very good looking apparatus you have there. Are you planning on making it handheld? If so, you should try and compact it and put the wiring in some sort of container (or just use a piezo). I think with a few elbows you should be able to make that propane meter a lot more ergonomic.
Was that fire extinguisher shot with a marble? Looks like a genuine bullet hole.
At 7x you can expect to put marbles through ~2 inches of solid oak (based on my experiences).

haha 1000 _Fnord

i will make it handheld in a while and the wiring is for remote so when it is handheld there is no wires!
yeah i shot with a marble.
i have gone to 5x no and that is my limit (you know a 6x no and then) and i shot a bolt at that alu plate i was talking about and it penetrated it

picture to come
and i have a little thought that the 5x broke the speed of sound it was so much more aggressive bang (not the propane boom but like a hand gun like pihhhhh)
i also put in a burst disk for 4x mixes without knowing it and when i shot a 3x it just came black smoke from the union

it was so hilarious!

I agree with Jack, I'm impressed - almost tempted into one myself, but I like my launchers handheld (remote fire feels too much like "experimenting", and I don't know I'd be happy hand-firing a hybrid above a few X.
Now... have you tried shooting through water jugs yet?
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

that would be awesome! Make sure you film it though. How many do you think you will be able to get through?
