Nobody cares!I have a corner case - I've absolved my Titans inside the missile launching nozzle, so it can still fire the missile or it can fire 3 darts.
On topic, I would be interested in rockets. I enjoy them but only having a couple limits the fun factor.

1. This is a missing category.
2. There is no way of knowing which category the surveyed individual will choose, so the results aren't as reliable.
However, these two questions seem to be more introductory than the key question (would you buy some long-range missiles), so the discrepancy isn't as important.
Or, put it another (tl;dr) way:
If he wants accurate results, he'd care.

I choose to interpret this as a comment about the other poll, where I "d-bagged," I guess. I also choose to interpret it as hilarious, because you are getting superior over being called out over something you very deservedly got called out on.
From a dataset analysis perspective, there are two reasons to care:
1. This is a missing category.
2. There is no way of knowing which category the surveyed individual will choose, so the results aren't as reliable.
He just wants to know how many Titans there are. If they are stock, then they're stock, and the person votes stock. If they are modified in some capacity, even the barrel mods (which no one needed to know about), then they are modified, and no longer stock. The distinction between stock and not-stock is very simple and I would hope a competent adult (I hope that isn't too presumptuous) would have enough fuzzy logic to determine what he should do, instead of overanalyzing everything.

I voted yes on the "would you be interested' bit, but I wanted to qualify it. It would depend greatly on what kind of setup was required to launch them, how well they performed and the durability, safety and cost of each projectile. If you have to build some kind of crazy setup using expensive or hard-to-find parts (not likely, but you never know), I would have to say no. If they don't go all that far, if they fly apart after a dozen or so shots, or if they cost more than dinner for a family of four at McDonalds, I would have to say no.
Basically - a lot depends on the product and the price.
I totally understand that. I haven't done too many long-term durability tests yet, but so far they hold up better than the stock Titan rockets I have. I am getting a a vast range difference depending upon pressure and exact design, from 60-100ish feet. As for cost, a few dollars each. I have personally tested point-blank pain tests and found them to be mildly uncomfortable. Kinda like missing a football catch and it hitting you in the chest. They are constructed of various types of foam.

Pics or it didn't happen. Seriously though, a video or at least some photos would be nice. Also, an explanation for why it would make a difference whether the titan is stock or modded, so that people who have done Weird Shit to their titan know what to tell you. Do these fire from a titan...nub...thingy? Also, do these get 100 feet by gliding slowly through the air? What kind of velocity are we looking at?

Yes I would seriously look into buying some rockets from you if they do what you say then can do!

Okay, I'll work on that.Pics or it didn't happen. Seriously though, a video or at least some photos would be nice.
That was more to find out whether they are using the titan for the large ammunition still or not.Also, an explanation for why it would make a difference whether the titan is stock or modded, so that people who have done Weird Shit to their titan know what to tell you.
No, in fact the Titan would require a modified barrel, as these missiles are designed to be used with the Nat-Geo, Roto-Rocket, Estes Air Rocket, and Iron Man Rocket blasters in mostly stock form. The others were just large volume blasters that would also be capable of launching them. I suspect that Lazer Tag Master Blasters, PulseStrikes, and possibly plugged Big Blasts will also be options with the correct barrel.Do these fire from a titan...nub...thingy?
Come on Langley... They have no lifting surfaces, thus they will fall at roughly the same rate as a dart traveling the same distance. They are quite a bit heavier than stock Titan rockets and are a little smaller. Yes, they are rather quick.Also, do these get 100 feet by gliding slowly through the air? What kind of velocity are we looking at?
I am also really interested and have experimented with custom rocket making. Have you tried curling fins to create a spinning motion? I found that it really helps with the velocity and accuracy as it does not wobble as much and it spins in flight.
Yes, angled fins do seem to make a difference in the accuracy and are part of the design.
Another question, are the titans you are firing the missiles from stock or plugged?
I have yet to modify one of my (many) Titans to accommodate these rockets, they are simply the most common blaster that is capable of propelling them. In addition... Why would you NOT plug a titan if you are using large ammunition?
Distance is great, but how accurate are they? A Streamline can end up 100' from the blaster, but also 20' to one side or the other. If they're accurate and $5 or less, put me down for $20 worth.
They do tend to catch crosswinds more than darts, but the scale makes them less prone to veering off course due to slight surface aberrations.
Durability would be make or break for me.
Certainly it is a major concern. As I said, though, they do seem to be holding up far better than my stock Titan rockets and are firing from much higher pressures.

What're your launch platforms, if you've not modded your Titans? I'm curious as to what the 'interface' needs to be - 1/2" PVC coupler, 3/4" barrel, etc. At this point, the price-per-unit would be the only thing that could break the deal, otherwise I'm in.
No, in fact the Titan would require a modified barrel, as these missiles are designed to be used with the Nat-Geo, Roto-Rocket, Estes Air Rocket, and Iron Man Rocket blasters in mostly stock form.

And you shall continue to do so until I deem otherwise.Having rarely seen any of the above blasters, I'm still wondering what pipeage the missile needs...
Send me a crate of these puppies. I'll shoot SonReese with one for you, for science.
That seems like one of the best possible outcomes.

From the sounds of it, you're still in the testing phase. If there's some issues you need to figure out/field test, I'm sure those of us with area wars in the near future could volunteer (Columbus, OH war at the end of March for me). Not sure if shipping samples or sending instructions would be easier (since it's your thing to sell, the latter isn't as favorable. Not like I care; I'm not in the position to sell anything as is, with me trying to get things out that are months overdue), but I'm sure a few of us could try.
Instructions won't be helpful because of the specialized supplies that would need to be sourced. Part of why I am doing this. I don't expect to make a bunch of money off of the project, and it will actually be a pain in the ass to build the jigs and such. I just want to build some awesome rockets and share them with the community.
If you can make it strong enough that my Cobra doesn't blow it to pieces, I'll definitely get at least one.
That's the idea. I'll be doing pressure tests probably far exceeding what you should attempt with any of these blasters.

What about Ultimators or XXL Bazookas? My Ultimator missiles are pretty beat up, if these work on them I will buy even more.
