lead AA batery!

cut of one end of a AA battery and use a 3/8" drill bit to git all of the crap out of it (MnO2 i think). then fill it up with molten lead, before the lead cools put a nail into the lead as a stabilizer.

i have not fired one of these yet, once me and pat finish are 500 cubic inch hybrid one of these will go flying at mach2

Cool but you have a half in barrel on a 600ci hybrid

or is it going to be wadded.
A 600ci hybrid should have atleast a 2in bore, much preferrabley 3in or even 4in.

I made one of those for a sling it worked great!

well we were going to use a very long 1/2" barrel, but a 3 or 4" barrel does sound like a lota fun

do you think 4" sch 40 pvc would be ok for a hybrid barrel? It is so big I think the pressure wouldn't build up to high in it.

Drex keep in mind that if you try to use a aa battery in type:l copper pipe the battery won't fit I've tried you should try 3/8'' sling shot ammo with a lot of wadding that works great puts holes in alot of stuff!

I am pretty sure he made sure that it fit. It is a little smaller than the aa battery because he molded it inside of it.

Killjoy used a sch 40 pvc for his barrel for FEAR, and it had over 1800 ci of volume...

Ok so it should be fine. this gun may be bigger than that in several months

i tryed it in a .5 inch copper pipe and it fit nice and snug (after i took the wrapper of of the battery)

If you want to add a cool fin to the back of that slug, try an "IDEAL" brand yellow wire nut just put the nail through it and into the slug to attach it.

BTW when a projectile strikes something sideways rather than nose first it's refered to as "keyholed" 8)
