I wouldnt mind getting one. What are you going to do about the over-seas market i.e. Australia. I would love to try shooting some marbles from a belt fed

looks great mate, its freaking insane.
just a question: will u be producing a range of accessories for ur launcher? stuff like extra drum mags and will the shells offer a biodegradable version for woodsball?
top work mate, keen on seeing the final product soon!

Yes, biodegradable sabot rounds are at hand once I find the extruder large enough. Also yes, I will be offering other accessories.

And my question man?

Twitch: Sorry, but at 4:30 am here I was a little out of it... As far as I know I could ship to you. I did have the indexer prototype seized by the Ministry of Defense in Bimini, but got it back the next day after they realized what it was being used for. If you could check on the laws for me down there it might happen sooner rather than later.

It seems like the Aussies have no idea what the laws are as they usually come on here and complain that they can't even buy airsoft guns there.
If that is the case it seems unlikely they will want something like that there.
Funnily enough I think most people think of the outback of Australia still being a bit like the old West with guys driving around in Jeeps shooting 'roos without a hint of authority in sight.
Certainly you can bowhunt plenty of critters there.

Thats just a stereotype. Bow hunting is legal but. And we cant get airsoft guns because the governments afraid we'd use them to rob people because they look too real. And roo shooting without a licence is illegal.

Maybe illegal but a Kangaroo head on the wall would be a cool addition to my living room

On another note Charleston just had a couple of kids from my old highschool rob a grocery store with a airsoft gun.The little brats got off the hook too,Dang rich kids.

TwitchTheAussie · Sun Apr 15, 2007 8:03 pm

Exactly. Thats what the government is afraid of

that thing is deadly i want one so bad i also live in australia and yes the laws are kinda tight here also does any one know how i might go about making a single shot pneumatic shot gun?

TwitchTheAussie · Mon Apr 16, 2007 1:06 am

Its called searchin through the archive but there was one. Look through the last few pages in this section and you'll find it.

wannabie · Mon Apr 16, 2007 3:16 am

i found it but it was just normal with a 1'' barrel so he could stick some wadding down there then some paint balls BTW what are spud bux? do you buy stuff with them lol

Biodegradable sabots is easy just use biodegradable toilet paper

and wannabie never ask how to build something on this forum this place is for spud gunners if you don't know how to build a spud gun then you don't belong do some research before you come back

and solar will you sue us for making rip offs or just if we sell rip offs. I wanna make a rip off but I doubt I can machine any thing so fine could you sell that pneumatic drive mechanism

Solar · Mon Apr 16, 2007 11:23 pm

I would only care if someone started selling knock offs. It would cost someone a lot more to make a one off instead of purchasing one of my finished launchers. I will be selling the parts eventually and have no doubt that a lot of variations will appear. Luckily I have the backing to defend my patents and the fervor to pursue anyone trying to profit off of my designs illegally.

As for bio degradeable rounds. I found that toilet paper makes it look like someone has been using the forest for a restroom and got crazy. What I have is a lot more user friendly anyways.

exactly... if ur using a professional product on the fields... u wouldnt want toliet rolls coming out of the barrel. its like a 12-gauge shooting confetti. not menacing at all
