Made out of a bicicle pump! The idea is to use the one way valve that every bicicle pump has on its piston, to improve the performance of the gun, instead of using loose pistons as usually. I know the difference may not be crucial but it's for the sake of well-design. The piston is too heavy but seems to prove the theory. At only 75psi it shoots a 0,2g 6mm plastic bb through a steel (yes, steel. This is Europe) coke can. Filled with water it pierces the can and leaves a mark on the other wall. Air leak detected, soon to be fixed. UPDATE 20150719 Air leak was fixed with teflon tape. Cannon was intended to be tested to 10bar / 145psi. At 8bar / 116psi the back bursted off the main body, propelling it against a wall, with the cannon hitting at a great speed. Result is a bent cannon. Speed doesn't seem to have decreased but precision has been seriously affected. Plans for now are to test the energy at 75psi (like this teaser shows), then cut the cannon to the unbent part (which is about half the lenght), glue the back permanently and test energy again at 75psi to see the relationship between cannon lenglt and muzzle energy. Afterwards, with the back end fully glued, repeat tests at 116psi / 8bar and hopefully get the same energy as full-lenght-cannon @ 75psi. If not, test pressure until total burst, or the desired energy achieved. Advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching! A FewFriendsFace production Likeyright FFF2015 All likes reserved

Hidden coves, crazy-blue water, slow island vibes… this is the Adriatic untouched. If you want the full story, the full video’s already on our YouTube.

It is hard to think of a #yacht better known beyond the wider #yachting community than GIPSY MOTH IV, and that has continued to inspire generations of young #sailors more than fifty years after Sir Francis Chichester’s epic - then unimaginable - 1966-1967 single-handed, one-stop #voyage around the world with her. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/596/GIPSY%20MOTH%20IV Rescued in 2004 from 37 years out of her element, and rebuilt and restored in 2005 by her original builders - among the last #wooden #boat works performed by Camper & Nicholsons - GIPSY MOTH IV has subsequently circumnavigated again. For the trust that has owned her since 2010 it is now time to pass on this iconic and beautiful #yacht to a similar body or individual to spread or be inspired by Chichester’s spirit of challenge and #adventure.

Ho sostituito sulla mia Road Glide Special il manubrio standard con un LA Choppers da 8" pollici…. (la verità? un 10" pollici probabilmente era meglio😁, i cablaggi arrivavano tranquillamente), però sono ugualmente soddisfatto 👍. Nel video ho staccato i connettori dai comandi per sfilare i cablaggi dal vecchio manubrio, con l'esperienza di adesso, li avrei lasciati collegati sfilando e inserendo i cablaggi da una parte sola, sarebbe stato tutto più semplice nel rimontarli sul nuovo manubrio. Quando togliete i comandi di sinistra ricordatevi di togliere il tastino del trip computer . NB: fate molta attenzione a non danneggiare i flat cable dei comandi elettrici😬 I miei social: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MavarChannel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mavar58/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mauro.folegatti Gruppo Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/groups/mercatinousatobikers Pagina Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MercatinoUsatoBikers TikTok; www.tiktok.com/@mavar58

Nearly 6 months since Scott passed. Still can't believe it. Rest in Peace, MB.
