You should re-test at 0°, otherwise we don't have a basis of comparison.

Thanks for the tip I will do that as soon as I can and repost the flat ranges.

Not sure if this warrants a thread for itself as it is not a write up and individual show off threads are very erotic here, ergo we have a homemades picture thread. Angled ranges tell is shit and are not cared about as they don't give us a competent gauge of power, stick with flat ranges in the future(small and very serious heads up).

Nonetheless an interesting first homemade blaster. I would assume this is a pull/release blaster?

I will edit the OP to make it more of a write up. You are correct in your assumption; however, as stated above, I plan on making some sort of catch for it.

Is it only bungee propulsion? Or is there a spring inside we should know about? Also, that handle looks interesting. What material is that made of? Shower curtain rod, maybe?

There are some small HD springs inside as well as the bungees. As for that handle, it is a piece of "cut to fit" curtain rod that I had left over from my wife decorating the house. Does kind of look like a shower rod now that you mention it, though.


So as not to make the dreaded double post, I will edit with new ranges that are done flat.
Megas=105ft
Micros=122.4ft
This was done indoors at the plant that I work in with very dry air and 0 wind. Had a friend help spot me from the side so that I would fire as flat as possible.

That is at about 25° and the megas are with a singled 16" barrel and the micros are with a hoppered 14" barrel and 12" hopper. Those are also the farthest ranges not the averages.I actually tried to replicate MIG's firing position in the range test for the "homewrecker".
