Scrapyard BB cannon more better with Napalm! (2014x39)

: 06, 2014

It's easy to get gunpowder to explode, right? In the spirit of "I will"; I humbly submit: scrap bin BB cannon made from old-cheese-grade threaded rod (aka all thread, redi-rod). Too often I see fellows put up false barriers; "I can't make that, I don't have a 'X'". I long ago rid myself of that toxic excuse "can't". I will or I won't. Along the way, I dispensed with that other toxic word "should". I don't should on anybody, least of all myself. I will or I won't. I turned down the barrel with a hand drill and a die grinder. I drilled the bore and touch hole by eye. I made my own fuses with a youtube recipe that doesn't work. Instead, I made glue from styrofoam and gasoline. I procured Pyrodex FFF propellant and made my own Napalm paper fuse. I own a respectable collection of knackered machine tools. But I still like making things with a bare minimum of tools. It's a personal challenge to make "minimum viable" projects. I hope you like this work in progress. Safety Gestapo take heed, this is a good 'un. "Calling all cars! calling all cars! WooooEEEEEEEEEEE. Somebody please think of the children!" &c... As always, I welcome your comments!
