More insanity, AR bloop pistol build

Nice. We're gonna need that video

What's funny is, I only had two of those before my day trip to Chernobyl and none of them glowed.

I don't care how expensive those were.

Worth....every...penny...

Not insane, unless you plan to shoot them off into the distance never to be seen again, then they're a bit steep at $4 each. But you only live once.

It's for the science.

you can still stick in a 22lr adapter bolt and shoot blanks to increase chances of recovery

I'd say you have a better chance than you would recovering a .50 tracer. They run in the 4 buck range and don't stay lit near as long

Ya can't take it with ya.

So the idea about using blank trip mines to make a golf ball blooper, it just didn't pan out.

This will though!

The inimitable @DrPhudd answered my call for a stubby lil barrel and came through like a super swift rockstar. Supplied, chopped, threaded and shipped in less time than it took for a retailer to send me the upper it's going on (ignore the one in the pic, it was the only unpopulated one I could find here)!

So once the upper and the MCS 3.5" weirdo buffer tube arrives, it's functionally done.




I've got a Chinesium (oh how I love the Chinesium) toob handguard that when cut down to 3.25" (which is a mm or so past the checkering, so nice!) will make an almost seamless gap filler. Assuming I don't make a total bollocks of it.

This could be the start of a new sport!

Pretty sure folks already do launcher golf lol

Or keep it for more than 5 minutes apparently lol

They shut off automatically after 8 minutes, so should stay lit long enough lase it for range at least.

Sure beats trying get them to go a particular direction by whackin 'em with a stick.

Wow....the lengths some of ya'll will go to prevent theft.


I must say however, I feel validated that my use of zip ties as sling attachment points won't be seen as detracting from the aesthetics of my Battle-Minus-Rattle setups.

To say nothing of giving me ideas of what I can do with some left over shelf brackets I have sitting around.

There are no rules!

Chintzy plastic launcher sight arrived.
