You can't suddenly swap your trumpet for a violin u know.

He's developing into a one man, geriatric orchestra!

Perhaps he'll give us a recital at the BBB ... most likely be Brahms and Liszt.

Well what can I say, the collaboration of members bring parts to be assembled on site, all done without any drawings, turned into something that worked very very well.

I don't think any of us expected quite such a sceptical.

And the destruction !!!!!!!

Thanks to all that contributed, and special thanks to Richard and Edward.

So how can we improve it, well I think an adjustable stand, for aiming obviously, would be a good addition.

From Tony's post:
In a bizarre coincidence, there's this recent news on airbag recalls:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/nhtsa-urges-prompt-recall-certain-honda-acura-models/
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2016-06-02/sixty-million-car-bombs-inside-takata-s-air-bag-crisis (picture of a failed one).

Seems likely that they're recalled Takata units with allegedly unstable ammonium nitrate, then?

We didn't see any case schrapnel, did we? Maybe they had not degraded sufficiently.

The one we used as a projectile showed no degradation and it had more abuse than it was designed for.
