Using ingredients I shall not mention here, my and N made a device that we now realise was probably a bit too powerful. The tennis ball that left the launch tube returned to planet earth about a full ~20 seconds later. Perforated. Good times.

          My Dad has told me tales of him and his mates making 'guns' from bits of pipe and goodness knows what.

          My ex used to make his own black powder.

            The worry is when the printers become self aware and start multiplying.

              We managed to fire a plastic cup a good distance up in the air out of some piping with some chemicals bought from the chemist. It made a fair bang and a nice gent for the TA base across the road asked us very nicely not to do it again.

                We avoided the more likely ways to attract the interests of those in the law enforcement field by building increasingly powerful, and dangerous, ballista.

                The final one was made from old sleepers and scrap timber, wire rope, ratchet straps and leaf springs from the suspension on an old Bedford truck. We used it to fire 5 ft lengths of rebar through bales of straw, and on one occasion a brick wall. Effective range was well over 300ft.

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
