yeah I agree... design 2 sounds pretty sweet, although I'm not sure snow would hold up very well at 300fps or much less 500fps... seems like with all that power it would just kinda spray all over the place as if you were just shooting water or something.... but what do I know? I don't have much snow...

well, not that I'm an expert on pvc primer or anything, but I'm fairly certain that it would be wiser to use actual primer instead of just cleaner. Of course, it is important to have a clean surface to solvent weld upon, the purple stuff actually softens up the plastic to prepare it for bonding, whi...

yeah, towels and rags are a good choice if you have a bunch lying around like I do... just pack a bunch of em in a cardboard box and it should stop just about anything you shoot at it (within reason). And if you're just shooting bb's then it should work fine... provided the bb's pierce the cardboard...

Anything really. You should steal some sprites from classic games(doom, zelda, donkeykong, etc.) to add a bit of retro-groovyness.
couldn't agree more... that's an awesome idea... who wouldn't wanna annihilate some zombies from Doom or Resident Evil with a spudgun? :D

looks like a pretty sweet gun... love the cam-locks... only wish I woulda thought to put em on my gun when I was making it... cuz maybe it's just me, but my barrel can be a real bitch to unscrew sometimes...

lol... that sounds like something I wouldn't mind wastin' my time on... with enough customization and upgrade abilities I bet it could turn out being a pretty sweet game... especially if our own cannons were in the game.

I actually tried this method on my combustion a while ago when it was in the testing phase... it seemed like a pretty sweet idea at the time, and yeah, in the few tests I did using this method it did seem quite a bit louder, but I didn't really have an accurate way to measure the distances I was get...

As requested... here's the jpeg of the NFPA hazard label I made via photoshop... I simply printed it out on some glossy photo paper, cut it out using a razor blade and attached it using some spray adhesive I found in my garage.

nope... no primer... and no sealer whatsoever... just paint (krylon fusion of course).

Steel Washer Ammo (damage pics included)

Okay, so this probably isn't the most original idea for destructive ammo, but I didn't see anything too similar to it on the forums, so I thought I'd I share with you my ammo idea that has proven to be as easy to make as it is do demolish things with! While perusing through the bolt/screw/washer sec...
