I don't know what i did wrong???

[Jayhawk]

They really wouldn't need "high velocity" or automatic air rifles...with a velocity of 91.44 meters/second...and a projectile weighing 518.39128 milligrams...with a rifled barrel...and the target traveling at a level speed of 13.4112 meters/second approximately 60 meters away...it's not that difficult, especially if the target is coming toward you...

Yeah, I just used an extreme example to demonstrate the possibility.

Whether or not the projectile would cause enough damage to disable the target with a single shot is a whole different story

Very true there, and I don't know enough about r/c planes to even try and make a guess on that.

(Warning, you have now entered a restricted area, please be prepared to show a sense of humor)

Ok, I see the solution, the richest guy here should buy an r/c plane and two expensive BB rifles (full auto, green gas, 1.5x scopes).  Then he should have his friend fly the bird while he and another friend open fire, give them around 30 seconds per trial, and fix any damage with a completely new part.

See how many times the plane goes down out of one-hundred trials, and send the probability here to us.  Nice and simple.

(Seriously now)

1.) We need to agree upon a universal caliber and weapon to do our tests

2.) We should make our hypothesis first

3.) We should use the scientific method to do this, step by step, one chunk at a time, and post our results before moving on.

i dunno why i'm doing this...i must be a masochist or something. but then...the occasional spanking is rather fun.....


enough of that here's a couple pics.

this is my electric corsair. it's kinda small, as you can see, but she'll do 65mph.



so with nothing else added, imagine this little thing cruising along at 65mph, and trying to hit it...even with full auto.
 to continue.....
crappy picture, but i couldn;t get the camera to focus any better so close...you may notice the absence of anything seriously important inside. you can see the elevator control in there too.


 here's an outside pic of the elevator control.


that is of course foam.

 now, on to the t34. heres the wing. notice the absence of anything inside of it critical.


 this is the best i could get a pic of the inside of the t34....but once again, you'll note the rather small control rods. this one has 2...one for the rudder, one for the elevator.



imagine bb's doing critical damage to these?

[Penguin]

Hey, great job!  If you feel up to it, would you please do that a bunch more times, but fix it in between trials?  Legoman also said that he was going over a roof, so we might want to do a low, slow, roof-level fight and shoot it from the front.

This is truly fascinating, thank you for the experiment.

Sweet Corsair there Cap.

[Jayhawk]

It's a good thing you've got that trailer to transport that plane. 

[Motherland]

I have one that'll shoot BB's full auto, it looks very, very real.  Made by D-Boys, typically shoots 7mm plastic,

6mm

but BB's will work just fine if you increase the power on the Hop-Up system to account for their weight.  Consider this, a cheap springer will put a hole through a sled at ten feet, imagine a full auto-BB gun at say 30 feet!

No it won't. A standard BB is IIRC .177 caliber or about 4.5mm. Especially considering at its hardest bite a hopup protrudes maybe a millimeter into the chamber I don't think the BB would even be able to sit without rolling the barrel at any kind angle.
I'd also like to know what kind of sled you're putting holes in....

                                             Load: .2 gram BB's
                                              ROF: 180 rpm
                                              MPS: 180 mps

Pretty interesting numbers you're throwing out there... mind posting some kind of logic behind them?

Sweet Corsair there Cap.

thannnk ya sir. it's an alpha models arf........

[CAP1]

It's a good thing you've got that trailer to transport that plane. 

that one, and this baby..........



and if anyone were to shoot at this one, they would be found much much later, feeding the turkey vultures.

CAP why do you have a r/c bomber ???

CAP why do you have a r/c bomber ???

cause i'm gonna raid the r/c field with secret torpedoes...they haven't been shipped yet......

[68ZooM]

Cap im working on a B25-H 96" wingspan twin 65's,  where all the electronics mount i will still be able to cut in bombay doors and run a servo to open and close them, ill snap some pics of the plane when its further along, they make scale plastic bombs you can fill with flour, they look really cool dropping out and hitting the ground
