Thanks Jason. Its a blast when the kids are outside and I hide it in the bushes. Then I just sit and watch through the window. They caught on though, now any time Im holding my TX, they get VERY nervous. lol

Way cool - you could get arrested for owning that sort of gear down here in Oz.

See with me, I'd put a pile of bird seed for bait out back and then sit in my office and watch out the window for the squirrels.................then let er' rip!

But that's just me...........

lol, sounds fun Jason, but the closest thing to an office I have is a UH-60 Blackhawk! We make it a point to avoid birds.

Red 61 · Nov 30, 2006, 08:43 AM

What kind of gun is that? What kind of ammo does it shoot? How is the ammo propelled?

Very nice.... Best of luck in the field. Thanks.

Work on a recoil dampening system (did you see the red dot dance all over the paper?) and the ground squirrel insurgency will surely be crushed!

Very creative! I'm not into this topic, so my question is - what Pixie does in this gun?

Welcome to the club, dude! Built the first version about a year ago, keep buildin em cause they're so dang fun... You need to get a wireless camera setup on it for aiming(not mounted in this pic), and then onto some type of chassis... I'm still working on getting that part down.
