Not sure if you are being snarky or not, but if so, this rocket will out run every projectile you have. This is the "General Discussion" forum, so look up "general". Mod edit: The ONLY place non-airgun related content is allowed is in the Social Forum. Please refer to the rules.

Oh yeah, I should have updated this. They never responded once. The credit card company did confirm that the dispute was ruled in my favor and the refund was permanent.

Oh, you don’t have to worry about them shipping your gun. That won’t happen. This place is a total scam. They went totally dark on me for almost 60 days before I finally went ahead and charged it back through the credit card company. They didn’t respond to them, either. I would suggest filing...

I'm not good at excuses...

Any Tripoli or NAR sanctioned launch is covered by a $2 million policy.

Do you live in North Korea?

80 kg weight and landed 7 km away. But the trajectory was a high arc, while cartwheeling, so the actual distance traveled is further.

There is, but hearing it depends on if you're in the "cone" or not. Imagine the rocket's nosecone extending its dimensions to the ground from wherever it is (so the higher up the rocket goes supersonic, the bigger the radius at the base of the cone). Inside it, you likely won't hear it...

Yeah, me too. I had the Estes Sizzler starter kit with the launch pad and all that. The first launch was completely unsanctioned and took place in the back yard with the intent to keep it secret as I was under strict orders not to launch without parental supervision. That was a hard secret to...

I bet you can't calculate the force of a Chuck Norris roundhouse, nerd.

I do use GPS as well as a doppler radio tracker. When flying above 5000', you are above the "surface winds" and the winds up there can be 90 or 180 degrees shifted. I had my girlfriend with me at one launch and we were trying to track the 3" Exocet that just went to 9000' feet. The location...

An astute deduction, sir. Generally the local clubs will contact the nearest FAA airport of any consequence and get an altitude waiver. The altitude of the waiver is determined by a number of things. We are fortunate at our club to have one at 13,500' AGL (2.56 miles). Not many flyers even...

First rule of Flight Club is don't talk about the cost of Flight Club! But, since it's the same rule in air gunning, I'll make an exception.. The aluminum case is re-usable so long as you don't lose it or blow it up. I think it was $90. You can use a pretty good variety of motors with it. The...

9,460 g's?!? Damn. I gotta get my numbers up. So if you took the weight of 9460 pellets and focused it on one pellet, it wouldn't flatten or deform somehow? Because that's basically what's happening to it. I mean I know there's the barrel and the air pressure supporting it, but still... Fun...

The ferocious K-740 C-Star rocket motor. The propellant is a "highly aluminized" mixture almost identical to the propellant used during the Shuttle Program in their solid rocket boosters. It is loud and powerful and puts out all of it's energy in 2.5 seconds.

Planned flight for Saturday. 24.4 g's acceleration and 1062 mph (1557 FPS ) according to the simulator (which is remarkably accurate). I bet most pellets beat the crap out of it in acceleration, though. Probably by a lot. It would be interesting to know what kind of G's they experience when...

BinTac has a video showing how to properly pull the bolt back: Stock braced against shoulder, pull back until the tension increases, then thumb at the back of the bolt housing to pull it the rest of the way. I was surprised at how much leverage this gave me and made cocking much easier.

I zeroed mine in at 25 yards about 4 minutes after it was installed and I'm plinking pellet tin lids at 50 yards with it on my .25 AEA HP SS Plus no problem. Just requires minor aiming adjustments (aiming at the top edge puts the round dead-center). I haven't touched the turrets since...

Three AEA’s: .25 HP SS Plus (with Bug Buster scope) .25 HP SS (no stock, micro green dot sight) .30 Terminator (tank upgrade, bipod, tactical SWAT scope)
