7th and 8th April 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[tinbum]

Having worked all day today when I arrived home I finished building my master mini potato cannon. Constructed from 22mm pipe to form the stock/air chamber into a 15mm barrel via a 22mm full flow lever valve and a shrader valve for filling up via my cycling stirrup pump. First test was a standard nerf dart fire under a pressure of 80 psi. Impressively made it through both sides of a Weetabix box . Second test was a potato pumped up to 110psi which is about the max for my pump. Holy S**T is all I can say. With the nice snug fit of an inch long cylinder of potato rammed down the barrel the power was unbelievable. Tomorrow me and mini me will be conducting further daylight testing

Chrono results please Mike!

You’ve just got to bring that to The Bash Mike. The Cleary boys will probably find a way to up the power too

Don’t use a Combro though

Now that would be an interesting experiment lol

I don't want to Hold you back, but What You're Proposing might just be Burning Bridges!

Haha! Nice one, Nick.

Could you imagine the reply from Robin after it was sent back?

"The major components have been replaced, but the real mystery was why they were all covered in mash??"

I certainly will mate. I've done some research and should safely be able to increase pressure to over 200 psi with plenty to spare. I have seen copper pumped up to destruction which is normally around 1000psi but to go much higher I need to fit something more substantial for filling

Today I changed from low mounts to mediums on my HW80 .25 topped with a Hawke scope as the AO adjuster was just clipping the cylinder in places around the dial, less than a fag paper in certain spots with the low ones. Anyhow having fitted the mediums, I decided to ‘centre’ the scope turrets to give me maximum adjustment in all directions, pop the scope back on and head off to the range to get it zeroed in

I put an A4 sized target out at 25 yards and the first shot, and every shot after that was bang on crosshairs didn’t need a ‘click’ in any direction whatsoever.How lucky was that

Nice one, Pauly.

Good karma is that.

Once again a post on this thread has been responsible for me gaffwing uncontrollably, and spraying jets of recently sipped cider straight out again through me nostrils.

Wait until you meet da boyz for real, Gareth.

So bangers and mash will be on the menu for those camping too, eh?

I thought the original one was the best.....anyone fancy a go at doing a link?
