I'm sorry GunFreak....... I've joined the dark side
So I finally got everything I needed to actually fire off some shots with my mini today. I don't have an actually barrel yet but I'm FAR too impatient to wait a whole day so I hot glued a marker on to shoot nerf darts
Nothing special other than that it's clear. I used a slightly larger pre-form than the one I used in my Ballistic Knife as the body.
*Edit*
Today I epoxied(of course) the 17mm barrel from my Water-Bottle Gun on. Can I please join the epoxy hybrid club now jsr? I also switched to packing tape as a burst disk material because it holds strong until about 200 psi.
Specs:
Chamber volume: 26ish mL's
Barrel: Currently 8mm, 2.5 feet long
Metering: Syringe
Fuel: Butane
Burst Disk Material: Packing Tape
Max mix number: gone up to 8x
New 8mm barrel:
Here it is with the old 17mm barrel:
Here's the new video with the 67 caliber barrel... I'm pretty impressed with the results

nice, you can change your nickname now
Please watch your safety, I got a very violent explosion from a 4x mix
I wouldn't hold it in my hands.
When I shoot my mini, I put it in a vice with a towel over it.
Apart from that, nice job
Must be the first see trough hybrid ever built, so you can be pretty proud

Is the chamber an unexpanded cola bottle by any chance? Nice job though, get some slow-motion of the combustion.

Did you're hybrid explode AGAIN and yes, that shot where i held it in my hand was only a 2x mix with a burst pressure of only 50 psi. When i fired the 3x, you saw how i hid below my counter

No, I believe the back plug popout was at 4x.
It should be okay I guess...
Fragmented PET in your eyes isn't something you want

You got some nice footage. I like how fast the flame disappears when the disk bursts, You're also able to see it in one of JSR's vids.

Ok guys, I got the real barrel and deleted most of the nerf barrel pics simply because they weren't worthy of being on the site... marbles @400 fps

The more I "play" with this thing the more I love it, and the more my neighbors hate me
yes, that can carnage was done by a Nerf dart! (the remains of the dart are shown below the cans)
