Its proble been done a million times before,but this one is different.Insted of using gas,i used springs.It took a couple of tries to figure out where to put them and what brand.It will shoot about 50 ft on a good lanch. |

no it wouldn't. a Spring loaded shot wouldn;t travel any further than
about 5ft. Unless you had extrremey high tension springs, then it would
take several people to reload.

a spring loader could proably shoot 25 feet direct 50 indirect but its very enifeicent and would prolly brake down alot. ------------- RiFlEBoY |

You need something that is capable of flexable discharge. Like sergical tubing (that works well I made a water baloon launcher w/ it) ------------- My Gun: -Tippmann Pro/Carbine -14" J&J Ceramic Barrel |

If you want a spring operated gun that will shoot 50+feet, you will need a VERY strong spring. In turn you will need a gear-reduction system thqat increases torque so you can crank a shaft to reset the gear, and you will then need a "sear" to catch the sring, and a trigger that will releat the sear. ------------- ~Bob

| I doubt any makings of this paint rocket launcher. Theres no way it could be done with springs by one person. |

Rusty is a complete goon and always has been. Do not waste your money on a set of his plans when you can sit down and figure it out yourself, granted you're not a complete moron.
And yes...the rocket idea has been done...by me at least two years ago. My design uses model rockets to boost baloon rounds. I posted the complete design along with simulation data to proove the idea was safe and usuable. No field or event will ever let me use it though...darn insurance nazis. -------------

i saw a rocket launcher that was made by nerf or something like that. it shot a big foam rocket about 100-150 ft. the spring was really heavy duty but all u needed to do was flip a lever a few times. it would be cool to glue a few paintballs to the tip of the rocket. ------------- show initiative, determination.
