The Original Old Farts Club

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

Either way I heard you r nick name of Machine Gun was well earned LOL

It was actually "Quick Draw", after I shot myself in the leg, suggesting that my finger was actually way faster than my draw, so I thought it should have been Quick Shot. A local lad by the last name of Kelly actually had the Machine Gun part spoken for.

I started with potato guns and worked from there .I figured out early that the old Magic flash cubes came apart and if you drilled a hole in the glass you had a heck of a fuse using a handy 9volt.

I used a Coleman lantern flint striker assembly. Got all my fingers and only one third degree burn scar shooting a borrowed cannon with a hole in the combustion chamber.

Yes that should work. Me, I am thinking of grouping about 20 laser diodes out of dead DVD drives, focusing them into a death beam using optics.

I've been accumulating parts for a shorter range death ray. So far I have the transformers and guns out of two microwaves. Just think what a great burglar alarm it would make guarding the safe about crouch high.

I meant the flash cube was use as a ignitor for a flash toy. Potato I used a small hole in back of the barrel we squirted Ronson's in a swirl before lighting with a firestick, then BBQ ignitors came into play , whole new game

Morning OFC. Start of another week.

Easy day in the grow. My usual walk and up-potting maters are on tap.

Today will be nice and snow every day the rest of the work week. Time to put fertilizer on the grass. Will probably do this as well today.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I remember seeing such a contraption in old mechanics illustrated IIRC. Used a rubber squeeze bulb and striker out of a Zippo to fire it. Probably a federal offense today?

Our homemade "bazooka" from Estes rocket and heaps of flash powder in the parachute chamber....

Test firing of the projectile revealed it had too heavy of a payload for the engine used. Running like mad from launching pad before the window shaking explosion...opps.

Yea, I picked up on that. We used a lantern stricker for ignition and WD40 for propellent.
