I was making one of my basic combustions, muzzle loaded, and I had an epiphany of sorts. By beveling the end of the barrel, you can just load a potato that would not normally fit down the barrel. The beveled edge would cut the potato as it was loaded, and ensure a perfect seal, every time. By the wa...

I'm making a sniper-type combustion atm and wanted to know how to make a simple silencer for under 15 bucks. Any suggestions?

I have made them before and understand all of the physics i just dont have the space for a real-life model. i have to stick with 5 footers atm

Well this thread has served its purpose. Thanks to everyone who posted links and tips.

Sorry about the triple post i skimmed the rules beforehand but obviously didnt see all of them so ill re-read the rules and check out the links you guys gave me. thanks. Edit- Zaria's plans look simple enough, albeit somewhat exp...

Heh thank you im just on a mental roll -Would a spring powered cartridge work? like....eh i might have to use ascii to illustrate this lol Merged: the internet needs less pop-ups and more potato cannon trajectory and ballistics models Merged: a spud-shaped wooden box affixed to the barrel of the gun...

im still a private? jeez...

god if my internet would stop being mentally deficient i would attach these paint files
