Rocketry... Of the HIGHEST Caliber...

Ok... I took one look at this, and thought to myself... I could make quite a rocket out of that... Anybody else wanna take a shot at it?





I'm thinking... GunzAblazin!!!

Then again, it comes with an option for adding glassware... I'm thinking this will lead to me needing to give it another round of thought.

If it weighs anywhere near what the original did you are going to need a seriously high thrust motor to get it off the ground.

Clear fins?

New name idea: Shell Shock
I'm thinking along the lines of having a normal body tube, and perhaps fins, but giving it the appearance of the barrel of the gun, and then for giggles, maybe some fiberfill (pillow stuffing) arranged to make it look like it's just exited the barrel. If I was really trying to be cute, add some electronics (LEDs, batteries and/or an electric cord) to make it into a lamp when it's not on the pad. You know kinda like this:

Wanna really go outside the box, go spin stabilized and finless. Run the rod right up the middle.

I could imagine that whistling in.

No imagination needed, I remember. Not 5 inch but 155mm. Sucks when your own guys drop stuff on you.

Its true that "Friendly fire isn't"
My brother was a cannon cocker in M198 towed and M109 Paladins, they had a battery in his towed unit that was known as Checkfire Charlie for their "aiming errors".
