Build a Nerf RPG using PVC pipe and model rocket motors. Would it work?

Would I hook up the ignition system to the trigger?

Thoughts?

Install it on someone's car, hook it up to the brakes, then whenever they brake, they shoot things.

I feel like it would be tough to strike a balance between a 'nerf' material that was durable enough to withstand the launching forces but soft enough to not injure whoever you were firing at. I'd say make a potato gun or tennis ball mortar instead.

Essentially a shoulder-fired model rocket launcher? Yeah, it would work, but depending on your location it may not be legal.

I'd say you wouldn't want to shoot it at people, unless you had rocket motors that only burned for a very short time. But my recommendation would be to have a two stage trigger, one which turns on the power, the other which closes the circuit.

Lol KS

I could probably do it here

It would likely spiral out of control soon after it leaves the barrel, without some sort of stabilization system. The continued thrust out of the barrel would make it go nuts. This depends a lot on intended range and barrel length, of course.

I might just have to try this after all!

no reason it wouldn't.. is it safe??

but that shouldn't stop you!

Oh they're dangerous. It's just that nerf sort of implies you'd be firing it at someone. You something like this could probably be done if you just wanted to shoot it, but I'd be really careful with selecting a barrel material that wouldn't just turn it into a shoulder mounted bomb.

If anything, it'd make for a cool way to launch fireworks.

LOL I don't know what I would use it for :P although it came up because our senior class at school is have a game of free for all basically... so yeah. Anti-vehicle weapon?

No, the game we are playing has to be nerf, but this could be an anti-vehicle weapon!

Just make sure to use your head, or at least a helmet.

They made a NERF missile launcher.

it wouldn't be too hard. you'd want to take a nerf arrow, you know the fat mother fuckers cut it in half, attach to half a model rocket. thus giving you a soft tip for impact and a stable solid bottom for rocket engine stress. you'd also what to cut down the rocket engine as to remove the delay charge and ejection charge. as to not blow the thing up or burn the nurf part

here a cut away of a basic modelrocket engine.

but then again.. it may be easier/safer to go with same sort of idea how ever pick up some of these, build a basic co2 or compresed air potato gun and lauch these fuckers instead..

There are already those who have made launchers for nerf rocket footballs. A google search brings up lots of interesting stuff...

Do it.

PVC pipe, drill for trigger mounted ignition.

Kinda like the interior brake light they fitted on Clarkson's 928 except, more fun. I like your thinking!
