PVC Pipe Chemical Landmine

[nbk2000]

Go to http://patft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html and enter, in 'Term 1', 6688234, and Field 1, set to 'Patent Numbers'.

A paintball landmine made entirely from PVC pipe parts, that uses a CO2 powerlet as the propulsive force in ejecting the paint out of the mine.

Substituting mustard gas for paint makes it much less harmless, but more fun. :)

The design needs a bit of modification because, as shown, not all of the fluid contents would be ejected. Dip tubes attached to the nozzles, a plastic bladder, or something else would be needed.

I created a single PDF file with all patent pages and images for ease of storage and viewability.

There are still active links to the 'Paintball Cookbook' file on the forum. Just search for Paintball cookbook and then check the thread that isn't this one.

$40! I don't think so.

But the video is neat.

Imagine the plume being mustard instead of chalk. :)

Very neat. $40 is a pretty good price, considering.

(Slightly off topic: Also on that site, the http://rap4.com/paintball/os/m203-thunder-grenade-p-1296.html looks rather neat, a paintball M203 rotary launcher!)

I have to wonder about that 6 shot launcher.

Obviously, it wouldn't work with real 40mm ammo, but what about 37mm?

Commercial 37mm launchers are over $1,000. If this thing is built the same, but at half the cost...
