Well, here it is - it shoots well! It is basically a clay pigeon shooter attached to a rifle stock.
The blade is held in place by a magnet. I found that the blade will drop to the left after each shot, but I solved that problem by attaching the throwing lever angled to the right. Now it shoots beautifully straight, with a nice spin!
The power house behind this is a very strong spring.
This locks in place like a break barrel air rifle. It has a veeery simple, but functional trigger. Kicks like a mule!
that is too cool!
ReplyDelete"The power house behind this is a very strong spring. " -----so where's the rubber (except for the strip for friction spinning)?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that like all of your devices, it will function very well, but I do miss the rubber. :)
The trigger is also rubber operated.
ReplyDeleteHere, a spring was the only proven way (from clay pigeon throwers) to get serious power. There is little time for experiments, the team will show up on Friday and I have lots of work in the office, too.
I keep you fingers crossed. Shooter saw blades looks menacing, almost like a weapon from a horror movie.
