Did I mention, you guys re great?!
It is so nice to have a common venue to vent, expound and generally spout off to a group of people that enjoys some good things. Share all the great things we see and do.
Thanks, you're good people.

Man, you Maule guys sure are in touch with your feminine side, huh!... Not that there's anything wrong with that!

We'll have a group hug at the next fly-in.
It makes a guy proud to see everyone having a good time.

It was a weak moment. I'm over it now.
Thanks for understanding.

The in thing is this touchy-feelly stuff, so

can we all hold hands and sing Kumbiyaa?
at the next get together.

Don't forget beer and stogies!

Hah! Proof that you don't know me. I'm an apprentice curmudgeon - I'm only 51, so I won't be a journeyman for about 15 years. A guy I know of in Las Vegas (he's a flier, too) has a tee-shirt with his own face on it. The caption reads "I Hate People!" *I* should have one o' those, I think.

Great? Bah! Humbug!

Hey jmtgt! Dynamite and fireworks sounds real good. Beer too, SuperD, but I can't handle stogies anymore. Made myself way too sick last time I smoked one and still can't get back off the wagon! It wasn't the best quality though, and I am sure yours are the finest...

Back to dynamite. There's a guy down in AZ, Iden Greenberg, I believe is how you spell his name, that has a machine gun shoot every year. He ties TNT to posts a couple hundred yards downrange. They're a real challenge with a submachine gun, but when we bring out the Barrett light .50... WHHUUUMPBOOOOOOM! What great fun! Hehehe...

Probably not a great idea for Johnson Creek though.

John,

You have probably seen some of the spud guns out there. Those are always a good time...

Some of the pneumatics that shoot bottled water are also interesting.

I have found that "Aqua Net" provides the highest muzzle velocity for the aforementioned spud gun ("cannon" may be more appropriate!). I need to go to Home Depot and buy the parts to build a new one! (Brother in NM has the old one...) They also shoot wet immature pine cones very nicely, but the range and energy upon impact is severely reduced. They'll still go over 100 yards fairly accurately though.

Hehehe... I'm kindof embarrased that I know all of this.

M

Do you guy's use a grill ignitor as the trigger for your spud guns?

Talk about a thread that has "morphed"...

Yup... the piezo-electric units work well.

Hey, I know a thing or two about potato cannons. Next time you play paint ball stuff a sock down the barrel and load in about 100 balls. It 'll remind you of a scene from Gettysburg and makes for a great scenario game. Amen to the aqua-net punkin.

Whattya mean?? BCP People > Kumbaya > Guns > Machine Guns > Potato guns > Potato Gun Paintball Shotgun

Seems like an allowable thread creep to me.

You forgot high explosives, beer, stogies, and haters. Are you hatin'? I'm not... Kumbayah, baby !

Anyone with dynamite that wants to blow some beaver dams...come up to my place in MN and have a ball. I've got a 1000 foot strip so let me know when your coming and I'll have the beer ready. Got some boulders I need split too!!

Everyone in our family loves firearms.

Go ahead, rub it in. Just because I live in the Republik of Kalifornia.

You Kalifornicators should move to Arizona. In the middle of the desert you can do what ever you want. I've been to one of those machine gun, dynamite, potato blasting parties, and the biggest hit was a bowling ball cannon. Used an oxygen cylinder as the barrel, some black powder, and a fifteen pound ball. They could launch it nearly out of sight and around half a mile downrange. The ball would whistle as the air hit the finger holes. Good times!

I have found a new home, planes, guns, cannons, beverage, all thats needed now is broads. for what its worth coleman lantern lighters, available at all outdoor stores , probly works best in the potato cannons. one little twist and whalla!!! the old spud is on its way. seriously though its nice to have this site on the ole web, I'm a new pilot, also the distributor for a line of planes ( kits, and slsa ) bushcaddy.com also building a bearhawk patrol, and loving every minute of it. see you in the future
