Shop Class #8: Pumpkin Madness

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter into the Danger Room Shop, they find that it has been transformed into a large field. On one side of a field is a barn with a large bullseye painted on it. On the other side of the field a series of markers, much like you would see at a golf driving range.

Everyone's flinger is setup where they left it and a large pile of pumpkins sits next to each one.

Mac tosses a pumpkin in the air with a grin.

"Okay kids... Let's have some fun."

((OOC: Read the following posts for what to do.))

Realizing that his plan had a flaw, John spends the first few minutes of class fixing his problem. the problem? No way to load it. He cuts out another hole in steel plate the inside diameter of the barrel and replaces the current air fitting flange plate with this one, RTVs it, and then drills some holes to bolt the air flange to this new mounting flange.

John then uses a can of half-empty fix a flat to get the stupid flat wheel working, and tugs it over to where Mac's standing.

It's a large pipe on a engine cherry picker welded and bolted to a small car trailer. The thing looks like it was built in Russia in the 50's by overly safety concious engineers ungainly, with a metal cage surrounding the pipe and two mounting flanges, one in the middle and one at the end.

"Air pressure cannon. Pressurized air leaves the tanks, through the Y fitting, to the dump valve trigger, into the cannon, say bye bye to the pumpkin. I haven't tested it with live ammo, but the valve works. It's a muzzle loader, but I have a removable flange at the bottom."
