For the Rockets Have you thought about getting your hands on 2 Estes Viking rockets and build one with eight fins four in the front four in the back and build a sabot around the rocket body so that when it comes out the sabot will break away ant the rocket should fly straight

 

[DocZoppaII]

A sabot should work. Depends if he is going for accuracy of the rocket or accuracy of the game. Anyone who doesn't know what a sabot is, it's a sleeve of sorts that hugs the rocket and the inner walls of the tube. Usually used to keep all the force of the propellant behing the round being fired. The usually come in three to four peices and fall away as the projectile leaves the tube. In essence the rocket with a sabot will leave the tube at a perfect trajectory, instead of being cocked to one side.

[tankball]

heres a small video

i'll have a few more up soon

 

[tankball]

heres it working

 

[Psquiddy]

Really cool how the entire system works... you should invest in model-rocket igniters and build that into your gun, so you could fire them remotely. Btw your voice reminds me of Cabooses

 

[Macattack64]

I work at a firework store. Be careful with lighting those. Make sure you aren't jamming them in the tube. I would hate to see it just blow up in the tube while you are holding the rocket launcher and I do not endorse building a firework artillery shell tube into a prop.

Other than that, it's a nice looking rocket launcher!

 

[tankball]

i did have a blowout once already it made my right ear ring for some time but othere then that its still working. but i am being careful. i do clean the tube ever 6th launch

 

[electricocomics]

no way an actual shooting rocket launcher ?! AWESOME!

 

[Bulbxsaur]

never seen a working rocket launcher before.
good job

 

[TheReconSpartan]

you should make the trigger to where there is a flint at the end of the barrel so all you need to do is pull the trigger a few times and then all you need to do is aim for them elites!
