    Aircraft Gun...

    I am attempting to make a toy anti-aircraft, thats not really a toy, it uses a mix of bottle rockets, roman candles, and can poppers. any ideas how to make it more realistic?

    Sure. Slice all ordanance with x-acto knife along their length. Save shortest fuse. Empty all powder into 6oz v-8 can labeled Flakpanzer. Insert saved short fuse. Hold v-8 can above head held tightly in fist. Pray to March of Dimes for a new prosthetic. Light fuse. Repeat for effect.

    Final step, change your Forum signature to "Stumpy".

    Maybe. Well Adler, it won't be a "Toy" I will actually use it to shoot things down.
    Maybe not down but more "up". My sig, It works. Hopefully I won't pull a " A Christmas Story" and "shoot my out". Why? well I was originialy use it to blow green army men up with. Gotta love the things. But then I changed the measurments and such to make this "Toy" more for "Demolition" and less for "Play".

    AH HA! I was right!!!

    Well, the best idea would be to turn it into a surface-to-surface missile instead of a surface-to-air. Downing a flying target even if you dont do a damage can be very dangerous. My parents knew an old man, (bless his heart, he died years ago,) who flew bush planes. While he was flying a bullet shot up in through his canopy and almost killed him. Now I know your missile isnt a gun, but someone fired a rifle at his aircraft for fun.

    Like I said, turn it into a surface to surface missile so you can see it hit the target then explode!

    Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.

    I fail to see your logic? You're saying, don't fire rifles at aircraft because you could hurt somebody, fire them at targets on the ground....like people?

    Don't worry, I won't shoot "People" I'll shoot cans and bottles and such. If I shot "people" then, Quoting my step-dad,:

    "I"ll shove your head so far up your ***, every time you fart you'll think you had an idea."

    Then my mom would, quite litteraly, kill me with a breath of flame. that's why we call her Queen Dragon Mom.

    No, what Im trying to say is that its dangerous to fire anything at aircraft even if you do miss. And shooting a missile at people on the ground is even more dangerous. All I was trying to say was that fire them at something, but not someone
