http://www.geocities.com/pest3125 is the ‘official’ website – it will go down due to excessive traffic. I put most of the photos on http://photos.yahoo.com/pest3125 to lower the BW of the main site. If you are having problems with the frames on the site, I am curious why – its written in pure html using Ace4html freeware and worked fine on Opera and IE.

Those interested in this slug thrower and the dread gun may be interested.

How to build this resetting target. I can’t afford the $1700.

I’m handy with metal but not so versed in power/timer/software coding

Thanks

It reminds me of something from Warhammer 40,000.

(Portable Electromechanical Launcher/Thrower)? Seems like a more appropriate use of the word.

Psst, and I thought it was a “slug” launcher. Would have made one of those-if it shot real “slugs”
