I’ve never actually seen videos of these ever being shot. Super cool to see the slow motion

$200 a pop kinda dimmed my enthusiasm for it.

Triva fact, this gun wasn't lethal at point blank.

There was a carbine and a rifle too.

The $200 rounds that are DUDS end up being worth about $25 each. That is a big waste for something that doesn’t even go bang.

Has anyone manufactured gyrojet rounds since the original production run? I wonder about homebrew solutions.

not that I know of, I would think they might be cheaper if so.

And those duds have to hurt a bit knowing it's a $200 dud.

So was watching demo ranch during dinner like everyone else I assume. And I was surprised to see a fellow Hoosier on there. So does anyone know these guys or even better anyone on here??

 

[Jont22]

I watched that too…and now I want a rocket gun.

Yeah that thing was awesome minus all the issues lol I liked how it fired up mid flight you could see the rocket igniting

Sadly I don't think anything 3d printed could hold up, even with sleeves or inserts. A lead mold? A two piece setup with a base? I dunno. So much harder when you're working with projectiles and not cases.

Big Red is spending his detention productively.

I always found the Demo Ranch guy irritating. I guess I'm too old to appreciate the humor.
