Here's a couple of pnuematic Dangerous Game guns. Gotta freeze the pumpkins first if you want to shoot "solids".





"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.

I don't know which match it is, I think there are more than one around the country. All I know is what I've seen on the TV.

I was looking for a video of the whirly-gig type that slings 'em as that would be closer to Jiri's theme but couldn't find any.

the is called a trebuchet ... tree bucket!! from beding down a tree with a bucket of shot!!

btw, it's NOT a weapon.. it's an engine.. seige engine, but an engine.

yep, one shot will kill a buffalo, but you have to get his leg in a snare FIRST

I wnat to build one of these!! and cling import cars!!

The coolest part of that trebochet video is when the guy uses a doulbe to punch a hole through the car to run the cable through the car.

Proof that rednecks can be found in other countries thumb

Well, I'll consider it a form of field artillery from way back.

Those things used to sling 800 lb. (and heavier) rocks into castle walls 500 and 600 yards away.

You fellas can do the math. I don't know what kind of velocity or arc we're talking about on those "bullets", but 800lbs. I figure would be right around a 5,600,000 grain bullet.

Talk about "use enough gun".

Would make a great ending act for the STC club. Maybe we do it in South Texas and sling our mascot across the border next year.
