That was really beautiful.. Where as the charge goes off in the tube and the back blast cardboard took alot of damage, how much damage did the chair receive???. Is there much burning propellent coming back when the Mock warhead starts to seperate from the tube??

The Sound was awesome...

Are the mock warheads reusable?? How many times does one get???

They survived pretty well, not much damage. The one with no fins broke on the stem. It can be seen in a picture in the video. I’m not sure it can be reusable

The chair was unharmed and would likely be safe for the shooter of this as it’s pressure is released front and back. Lot of smoke though

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools !

That’s the next step however it needs to be done with the assistance of folks who know explosives or else one mistake can mean death. The video is just prove the concepts that the tube is safe and the projectiles fly straight as stated in the beginning

Germans made some bad A$$ weapons in WW2.

Out of curiousity, would you need a stamp for every explosive projectile too?

I thought thats kind of how it worked with things like a 40mm launcher. Stamp for the launcher, and a stamp for every projectile as well.

Just curious. I'm not super knowledgeable about that kind of stuff.

If you do another one.....would look sweet in a RPG-7 body :D

He should have used rigged up some Tannerite as the target and maybe he could have obtained a nice effect. Kind of disappointing :o
Ah that's one thing about our Flame, doesn't play any favorites! Flame hates everybody!

Each explosive warhead requires a form 1 plus requires a federal explosives license which are more strict but possible

This is the first test and as stated in the beginning in the video there was no payload, I wasn’t sure if this would have turned into a pipe bomb if it failed. Hopefully with the help of other organizations, we can get it to fire with a real payload either shape charge or an airburst round.
