That may be too much even if it was Texas. The guy from kentucky ballistics would love it.Oddly when you put it in the bed of your pickup truck looking like the taliban, nobody wants to ride with you.
I've always wanted to make something that launches golf balls. I've had plenty of fun with walnuts in a potato gun, quarter sticks in a potato sent airborne are a blast as well...Here's the only other picture I have to show how hard it shoots. Water cooler bottle before and after. I built it to look more dangerous than it was but it turned out to be more dangerous than it looks

Be careful if you use acetylene for the propellant it has a sharp pressure curve. You have to account for it or you can make a metal fatigue bomb instead of a toy.I've always wanted to make something that launches golf balls.

Yours is next level.
Thanks for some inspiration

Think of it this way:Looks like about when I hit one with my .458 Socomwith 31gr of H110. Behind a 350 gr Barns TTSX they open up to about .97”
Yes but I can shoulder my .458 a lot easier.Think of it this way:

How deep did you make the hole underneath? I worked as a gardener for 7 years and i used to plant olive trees. I used a mini excavator because they insisted we dig holes at least 120 cm deep (around 4 feet). It helped greatly the development of that tree in the first two years, making it reach a bigger size much earlier.planted some plum trees
Gotta let those roots go free...How deep did you make the hole underneath? I worked as a gardener for 7 years and i used to plant olive trees.

There is not much difference in latitude. The ones i worked with were in Umbria, 800m elevation and they did pretty good. During the winter we could get -10 celsius and i never saw any damage. As a gardener you always hope for a cold winter because it kills a lot of parasites making the work much easier. We used the olives to make ovile oil, there is a big olive oil culture here in Italy, there is a lot of people that make their own.Gotta let those roots go free...
I love olives, wonder if I could plant them in PA; my fig does pretty good every year.
Do you ?there is a big olive oil culture here in Italy, there is a lot of people that make their own.
hell yeah!Not the most interesting but maybe the most redneck. Acetylene powered golf ball cannon. View attachment 216202View attachment 216203

full suspension... my kidney's thank me for that.I don't like the idea of a solid linkage from breach to shoulder or wrist.
Would rather it had some travel, then a spring to return.
Would you rather ride a hard tail, or something with full suspension?
I would imagine, the only long gun I have ever fired other than an M-16a1 and a2 was a 12 gauge shotgun, I would guess that your rifle probably is somewhere close to that. yes? no?we will revisit that answer when you have gotten 10 years older and your joints are all worn out
A 10 round mag and your shoulder is about done
Not sure but it will sling a 350gr about 1700ftps.I would imagine, the only long gun I have ever fired other than an M-16a1 and a2 was a 12 gauge shotgun, I would guess that your rifle probably is somewhere close to that. yes? no?
Unfortunately not, i dont have olive trees of my own, but anybody that has 15 - 20 trees usually does. I was the guy doing it for the country hotels i worked for years ago. After harvesting them with a group of flunkies i just brought them to the 'frantoio', a small business with all the equipment to do cold extraction of oil from olives, and you pay them a fee derived from the weight of the olives he processed for you.Do you ?
