I'm making a homemade and need to know before I start if they make PVC that would fit over my body?

Over your torso you mean? Or your arm?
Torso, I highly doubt it, unless there's some special type for construction. For arm, 3 inch or 4 inch could work.

Okay well what do they make PVC and is there anything else I could use instead?

[z80]

Cardboard? Wood? Anything really.

Go to home depot, they have HUGE PVC....check it out.

[LordoftheRing434]

You're not seriously launching yourself out of a cannon are you? Or are you making a watermelon cannon?

As lilsniper said, PVC comes in a great variety at virtually any hardware store. Ask them about it, and if they don't have it, they might be able to place an order for you.

This really sounds absolutely crazy. Just don't do anything too stupid.

Don't worry I'm making 2 guns one for me one for a present for shindig it will shoot custom ammo like a grenade launcher. lilsniper how much is the huge PVC?

[lilsniper]

Hm..not exactly sure...its varies according to the size you get. What size are you looking for anyway? Let me know, and next time I'm at the Home Depot I'll check it out for ya.

-Grenade launcher?!?! How big are you grenades going to be?? This is going to be interesting...be sure to post some pics when you're done.

This is very intuiging, cant wait to see the finished product.

I can't believe there is a topic about this. Seriously, I am speechless.

Where in all this do I somehow get a gun? Can I shoot n00bs with it? If so, maybe I'll let this topic live for another 12 hours.

If you wanna spend the money, I know that 8" Sch80 is still available, and I've seen 12" stuff used in my school (old part, revamped in the 80-90's?).


This sounds a bit, umm...well, I think I missed something...I'll go find out what it was.

[Maverick Master]

How big of a grenade do you fricken plan on shooting. Something that big will kill someone.(unless it was a water ballon, but that would be water guns )

[m15399]

They do sell HUGE PVC, but it can be up to $120 for a 10 ft tube.

[sistermol]

Okay yes shindig you can shoot noobs and it will shoot balls filled with stephans the balls will be about as big as a 12 year olds fist it will have a door like when you see those doors in halo 2 that "spin" open it will also be pump powered.

[LordoftheRing434]

Ha.

Good luck with that one.

[davidbowie]

so...why do you need it to fit over your torso?

Can you explain the function at all, maybe make a drawing? I wouldn't quite say I'm intrigued, but at least it's different from the rest of the homemades going on right now.

[murakumo32]

Maybe he's designing a last ditch super weapon that fits around your torso and has a bunch of barrels with those grenade things he was talking about so when you are surrounded, you pull a trigger and the whole thing goes BOOM and blows all your enemies the mystical land of foam.

The was NOT intended to be sarcasm.

And neither was that.

But that was...
