Excellent thread Max, best for a while.

Your projectile is a Kaliber 'beer' can. Please tell me this is a play on words, or are you using this gun sober? Are you allowed to do that?? I'm sure that's against the rules.
And remember, always wear a flying suit when operating the contraption. During BFT my course built one, nothing in comparison to yours Max, out of the SOP catering bean tins. The bl00dy thing exploded after the usual 'phut', "Booooooo!", more lighter fluid, ''phut', "Boooo", even more, (repeat for 5 minutes), BANG! "ouch"
A fragment of can amost removed one of the team's thumbs; would have been worse if it wasn't for the suit.

More proof of the flying suit theory:
Sqn hedge jumping in Cyprus (after a lot of non Kaliber). Everyone makes if fine over the 6ft hedge, well some got stuck in the top but all were unharmed, apart from the SEngo (wearing blues) who landed on a tree stump and was taken to hospital and pizzed blood for a week.
What more proof do you need?
