Bored this morning waiting to go to work. Me and Google get along well at these times.

YES!!!!

I will be the envy of all airgunners with my 0.675 caliber air rifle!  Off to Home Depot, need to find some PVC, a gas can and 10 rolls of duct tape!  Lookout World!

Just kidding, that is a very cool article you found though:)

That's it!  YOU are the obvious choice for Cheif Nut!  Anyone looking at that would KNOW you'd need ELEVEN rolls of duct tape!  You're right about one thing though, cool article.

Haha, not so fast buddy.  I only need TEN rolls, I like to live life on the edge, and sometimes what I need most to wake me up some mornings is a gasoline soaked flaming tennis ball moving at about 1000fps to hit me in the head.  You do what you want, but I live life by my own set of physics!

Honestly though, I think I could get away with 9 rolls if I crossgrained 'em while I was putting 'em on at 45 degrees to every other layer.

So many ideas, but the price of gasoline just makes them harder and harder to test out.

So you're saying that a bias ply instead of a radial ply lets you cut down on the amount of duct tape needed, huh?  I don't know, sounds pretty shaky to me, and I think it STILL qualifies you for the title of Cheif Nut!  So I concede to the nuttier man :-)!  I like the flaming tennis ball though, sounds like just the wake up I need some days.  How do you arrange that?  Later!

How do you arrange that?

easy, get a gas can, fill with gasoline.  Grab one tennis ball, soak in gasoline.  Get 1 piece of pvc pipe with the same ID as the tennis ball.  Stuff gasoline soaked tennis ball inside PVC, tape one end shut as a bias ply with 9 rolls of duct tape.  Pour a little more gasoline into tube, aim at head, set on fire......you should this point hear a big "Whoosh!" and the tennis ball will come flying out......this is where it gets tricky.  As with most unrifled barrels the PVC is not going to be an accurate barrel.  You'll have to work at aiming it directly at your head.  If all steps are followed correctly you'll have a nice divit in the side of your skull, and quite possibly have set your yard on fire, unless you're working in your garage, which I sometimes do, in which case you'll burn the house down.  Beware, you may want to leave the cap off the can of gasoline and hold it just under your chin for full effect.  I make no warranties expressed or implied with this mod, you do so at your own risk!  Good luck and happy tennis balling!

Oh, and if you can swing it, get someone you don't like to stand right next to you, then the mod will work twice as well.

Yup, you just proved my point.  All Hail the new GTA Cheif Nut!!!!

Football?  Football?  What's that?  Isn't that brown thing that only moves at maybe 100fps?  Hardly worth my time, they probably need a new piston seal in that thing, or at least some GASOLINE!   YEAH BABY!  Now THAT would be a real game.  Replace the pigskin with a Nerf soaked in gasoline and lit on fire, get rid of those girl man pads those wussies wear, and replace them with gunpowder impregnated magnesium armor.  Yea, the XFL has nothing on my ideas, World look out!
