Guess who.

Al with Tropicos swivel gun.

The rest of their guns.

SD and I never got around to getting our guns out of our vehicles. Too much fun with Tropico's and Al's guns. I ended up sunburned and sick from the heat. We all had a really great day
Pictures by Tropico.

great looking pics, any with smoke and fire to follow???

I hope so. Due to a minor problem the video camera I had borrowed ended up leaving with my nephew. He showed up in time to help pack up and leave. Due to circumstances best not mentioned he ended up with a lot of my stuff in his car and the camera is now 37 miles away in the next county. I an going to go get it later today. videos by tomorrow.

Tropico · « **Reply #4 on:** July 06, 2007, 02:58:23 PM »

Sorry lance he can't golf balls and AR are Off Topic here...now if he talked about cannons, golf balls and AR's that would be different, then he would be On Topic.

Ya gotta say cannons!!!

jeeper1 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 06, 2007, 08:08:47 PM »

Could I say that between Cannon shots we were taking turns launching golf balls with it?

Here is a screen capture I got from Jeeper1's video., Here Jeeper1 catches the Pepsi separating from the Bronze.
It does not appear to be in a straight line.., thats because the mortar is in recoil mode

I sure wished I didn't look at this thread. It looks like I really missed something. I did think about you guys on the 5th, maybe next time.

Finally., from .mov's to .mpg's ., wmv's ., the converting which misaligns video and audio., all straighten out in "Movie Maker". What a mess. I wish my Kodak took video in AVI instead of mov . Anyway this video is a culmination of the 2 weeks before during and after July 4th 2007 . Lots of little booms in this one.
