Are you planning on getting one? I watched the vids when they came out and turned 13 again.

They're definitely interesting but I don't think I'd be getting one anytime soon. I've got to much wrapped up into other things. I sent the link to some buddies, maybe one of them will get the itch. We throw cans in between birds and this would make it all the more fun.

When I was 13 I worked in my parents hardware store. We would have a fire in the back and put spray cans on a 2x4 laying across it. They REALLY took off when the bottom of the can inverted.

Neat but expensive, at least to this old boy. Makes me want to find my spud gun.

We had some serious fun with tater guns back in the day (even more at night). A screwdriver, coffee can, lacquer thinner, and a chain link fence kept us entertained.

i wonder what type of stress it puts on the take-down holes/pins ???????

I'll stick to my golf ball launcher. It was $40, requires no modifications whatsoever, can shoot further, and can be used on any rifle with a grooved, grenade launching muzzle device.

Not to say this is not an awesome idea though.


From the website:

X-Products is currently working on the following accessories for this product:

• Grappling Hook (In Pre-Production)
• Net Launcher (In Sketch)
• Dog Training Toys For Duck Hunting and Retrieval
• T Shirt Launching (probably an easy one)
• Lawn Darts
• Harpoon

I'm not seeing them getting approval for the lawn dart or harpoon launcher.
Sounds like destructive device territory there for sure.

Good question.

Good points guys.

I've never messed with one of the golfball launchers but they look pretty cool to. I've just shied away from the blank firing toys. From what I've heard blanks aren't the easiest to find, the cleanest, or the cheapest either. Plus loosing the projectile.
