Welcome to WaGuns, Singh! :wavey:

Welcome aboard, Singh!

Our first group buy was mainly based on myself and 2 of my coworkers, then 2 from WaGuns. I may have another coworker interested (hooked, LOL!) after he sees the first batch. If others are interested I may consider coordinating another round, so check back here occasionally for updates and hopefully others will post if they want to do another group buy.

Honest question. Why would you pay money to buy a thing to launch a can of something you paid for, with something expensive to accomplish that, with a blank round that is expensive too?
Do you have a neighbor 100 yards away who is thirsty?
Do yourself a favor and drive to 7/11, buy what he wanted and deliver it to him. It would be cheaper and still drinkable.
Just wondering. :popcorn:

By the same token, one could ask why you'd spend valuable resources to poke tiny holes in paper, when you could launch a can at a watermelon and behold mass destruction! Or get creative and find ways to make paint cans explode on impact. I'll have fun with all of the above, including poking holes in paper, actually.

For me, I bought the golf ball attachment too and think I'll use it more than the can launcher. I have a tub of several hundred golf balls, and I don't golf, LOL. I also think we'll be trying some soda can skeet shooting, trying to see if a 12 ga can find the can mid flight. PULL!

Wait....

Can of Soda, the cheap stuff.... 50 cents

Blank 5.56 round......50 cents at the cheapest.

Watermelon.....5 bucks.

Can launcher....179 bucks from F5.

Now i get the attraction of shooting a Watermelon with a 12 oz can, (didn't think about that one) but couldn't you accomplish the same thing with a 12 ga round for under 50 cents on the high end?

Wait again...12 oz can at a Watermelon. Can i shoot yours? :bigsmile:

I find the Golf ball launcher far more interesting. Melon,or just a nice driver. Now that's a game on a big Lawn i could get into.

Yup, order was placed on 5/9 and I sent an email asking for an ETA last Fri. I'll update everybody when I have news.

**Edit - order was placed on 5/16, not the 9th.

HAHAHAHA, that vid is hilarious!
Who knew digesting beer could produce massive amounts of methane gas? Especially with good 'ol Buttwiper!
I think humans could probably speed up the process for them. Just park a crew Homer Simpsons on purpose built vapor capturing bar stools, and VOILA, all the methane they need!
