Hi,
I've been working on an electrically powered slug thrower that makes
the best use of available battery power. It is finally done. It
operates like a "centrifuge" gun and can launch 5/16" (7.9mm) diameter
delrin spheres at 460 ft/sec (140 m/s). The launcher can fire single
shots, 3 shot bursts or full auto (5 shots per second). The magazine
capacity is 50 shots.
It is powered with a 7 cell NiCd pack.

I call it a "PEST" or Portable Electromechanical Slug Thrower.

All parts were made on a Sherline tabletop milling machine.

Neat!!!
