weaponized toys

[---GUTSHOT--->]

I would like to say this is the best thread on the PA!!!I get a big kick out of all the things we've done in the past and thinking who will try one of the many stories on here. Keep them coming!

Ever try drinking a few 12oz's and running a boat beside a 6' gator and think it was cool to jump out and wrap your arms and legs around it? Well if you do, it's not. Try to figure out how to let go after you say, "Watch This".

As I hear it, the story still runs around the town where I grew up about my father and his buddies running coyotes between snowmobiles and whoppin' 'em with a baseball bat.  Apparently one night, my father was on the left side of a yote and his buddy Don was on the right, but could not seem to connect, a batting slump as it were.  My father bailed off his Scorpion 440 SuperStinger and bulldogged the song doggie! 

HE claims he hit a rock or something and fell onto it accidently.  My father is not prone to exaggeration or dramatization, but I am not gonna give him this one.

Has anyone thought of getting some cheaper drones, tying model rockets on them as missiles and dog fighting?

My other hobby is model airplane building and flying and adding rockets to them is a big no-no ---  but I have daydreamed many times.  what I really want to do is build a paintball gun into the nose of an A-10 Warthog.  That would be beyond cool.

Anything to do with the A-10 is beyond cool!

I think most of us at some point has at least contemplated if not attempted attaching bottle rockets to those styrofoam gliders. It doesn't work BTW, lol.

Bottle rocket Wars... Conduit as your gun. Pretty funny when you get busted by your parents

No it does not. But an arrow duct tapped to an estes model rocket engine works great. Also tje gan out of a hair dryer with the rocket engine in the middle makes an awesome spinning toy as it goes up.

I went to a junior college in Jansen Beach Fla in 1969-71. Just before Christmas break one year, after most of the students had left for the holidays a few of us had a bottle rocket war. One team at one end of the dorm hall, the other team at the other end. With all the lights out we would exchange shots down the dark hall to our opponents. It was pretty interesting.   
 At the same school, the night of the Draft Lottery we were all huddled in front of the TV in the TV room which had accordion style sliding doors. Some smart butt decided to throw a few lit bottle rockets into the room and hold the doors closed. Another exciting moment.  On a side note...the lottery numbers were not in my favor. I drew #88

And which branch did you enlist in?

I was never in the military. They wouldn't have wanted me anyway.

Mine was #13

In the mid 70's saltpeter was readily available so I decided one day to make some Black powder.  Mixed the ingredients in the right proportions.  Tried it in some of the rifles I had and it worked quite well.  Then I made some small rockets.  Very little control but man did those things go

We got into the lab when I was in High School and got a bottle of Iodine Crystals. Have you ever seen what happens when you mix the crystals 50/50 with ammonia? It turns into a very unstable contact explosive. We painted the bottom of a toilet seat at the local drive in theater one Saturday night and hung around to see who would be lucky enough to sit on it once it dried. About an hour later there was a small boom and a bunch of purple smoke rolling out. Didn't hurt anybody more then burning the hair off his butt and staining his backside purple.

Always amusing to throw it down wet in front of the Bar door on a busy night and watch everybody track it all through the place. As it dried and people would step on it it would go off like the old black powder crackers you could buy.

Pat & Eddy - Mine was 311. Man, I remember being glued to the radio during the "Lottery" ! Bob
