Driving Toads!

RE: Driving Toads

Yours must have been worn out. They get brittle after a while.

Nar mate, this was my 4th gun and it was a ball tearer. Took me a while to get it all running perfectly. It was the accelerant i was using at the time and an unlubricated barrel and an oversized spud. you wouldnt be calling me a wuss if ya saw the size of the bruise, and my gun :wink:

RE: Driving Toads

Try reinforcing the whole length of barrel with fibreglass and instead of having a expansion chamber have just a threaded socket with an end cap. Now put two holes in the end cap for two pieces of speaker wire. Then bridge the two wires with a small piece of steel wool. Add a switch to the speaker wire, small push switch from dick smith will do. Then When the circuit is completed through the speaker wire the steel wool glows red because it has less resistance. This way you have a reliable electrical ignition system that will set of a small parcel of black powder or smokeless powder from ramset cartriges. You need a minmum of a nine volt dolphin torch battery to run it. But its the tits and goes about 6 or seven times the distance of one running on hair spray. Hair spray is for amatuers.
Now back to toad killing.

Thats what I read about on the internet, I wouldn't try it though, it might do some damage to ya if things went wrong.

RE: Driving Toads

Auto start sux man. Get the nozzle off a flyspray can and put it on one of those camping stove cans of butane and use a really light spray, thats if you insist on using liquid propellants. At least thats what I read on the internet anyway. It would probably kill you though anyway, or at least blow some of that bling of your avatar. WORD FOO.

I got an air rifle, gotta get it sighted in so I can blow some mynah birds away.

Geez, this thread shouldda been named potato cannons and air rifles. Hey did you guys see that episode of myth busters or whatever it was on SBS, where they had that homemade cannon and a wheat silo and were seeing how many bowling balls they had to fire at it before it fell down. Pretty damn funny. Hey are you guys aware that most model and hobby shops sell small black powder rocket motors? I think we need to be working on sending the first ever cane toad into space......well hey it might not get to space but it will be funny.....Nah....seriously.......FUNNY.
