I have fired it over 50 times with no bumper and it still works great. Ive evn taken it to 165 PSI!! and it didnt blow the valve, but holy sh*t was it crazy!!(i shot a 2" hole saw out of it and it went through 3 pieses of 1/2: plywood and then put a gouge in my cinderblock wall

Easy to use muzzle energy calculator can be found here, though I prefer to use this one as it plots a graph of muzzle energy for the whole velocity range and gives ft/lbs to 2 decimal places.rna_duelers wrote:@jackssmirk-A .44 magnum,thats getting out of hand!You gave me links to a website with caluclators to find the muzzle energy of projectile and I can't seem to find them.If you could be as good to post the link that would great.Wanting to find the energy of some of my pneumatics.
To see how muzzle energy compares with firearm ballistics, a detailed range of popular cartridge statistics (velocity, weight, muzzle energy etc) can be found here

Yup 
. ill need to get you down more often. once we finish it that is.
the empty caulk tubes are light though. We may need to fill them with something.

fill the first 1/4th of the tube with concrete and you have a perfect drag-stabilised armor piercing shotthe empty caulk tubes are light though. We may need to fill them with something.

1/4 full are supposed to be pretty accurate. well, as accurate as you can get out of a high velosity cardboard tube. how about we weight them with sand?

Sand mixed with some elmers glue would make a good concrete substitute toomopherman wrote:how about we weight them with sand?

sand and glue isn't going to be any more messy than mixing concrete.
Another good idea would be to use the empty caulk tube as a sabot, with that sort of power on tap it would make a killer shotgun with marbles.

but don't let these ideas run away with you, don't forget you have to go out and build the thing first
