Projectile diameter list?
« on: January 07, 2008, 12:57:55 AM »
 What do you guys think about making a sticky for listing diameters of common items/materials that can be used as projectiles?

 I know I've often had to search old posts to find diameters of billiard balls, sinker weights, PVC pipe, etc. when considering common items to be used as projectiles.

 We often come upon a tube that looks as though it would be nice to make a cannon/mortar out of. For me, the first thing that comes to mind is - "What can I shoot out of it?"

Wouldn't it be helpful if such info was in one place?

We already do, take a look at the references sticky.

Any time you run across specifications of something just post a link  here on the board and ask CW to add it to the list

It's time to make a bore gauge and try to stick every loose object in the house, garage, and yard through it.  I hope the dog isn't the right size, I like her.

Yeah and you'll never get over that howling sound going down range..............

 I'll volunteer a half dozen armadillos if they don't stop digging up my yard! I'll throw in some moles as well. ;)

And I thought moleshot was for shooting moles, not firing them. Sounds messy.

I miss armadillos, haven't even seen one in several years.  Fire one this way.
