- Spaz007, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Who uses Real Player? Really?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15I hate small children. Please do!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11seriously you're about 6 years late in that statement, nobody ever used real media, ever...
yet somehow it lives on and on and on... - FullMetalMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Now if we can only combine this with the Tank Chair netioned earlier......... That would be awesome!
- Invader02, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Dugg... this guy's bandwidth must be out from all the pictures...
You know how cool that would be if we could have golf ball wars with the tank chairs :) - eklitzke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Until someone gets a mirror up, here is the coralized link: http://www.plans-kits.com.nyud.net:8080/project2.html
Also, from the article:
"We use gunpowder for slow speed projectiles, guncotton for Mach 1 projectiles or a combination of High grade Nitrocellulose for Mach 2 projectiles."
These things sound like a lot of fun to play with :-) - Cookieman123, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Sorry, but installing real media player is not worth a golf ball cannon.
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5RealAlternative!!
- bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6George: I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!
Jerry: Mammal.
George: Whatever.
Kramer: Well, what did you do next?
George: Then from out of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a cork and I found myself on top of him face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from all of the waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand and pulled out the obstruction!
Kramer: What is that a Titleist? A hole in one...eh. - cracell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I work at a golf course...and seriously golf balls are dangerous...a little softer then rocks...but I've seen shattered windshields up the wazoo...had a fellow employee get his collar bone cracked....a lot of junk...our picker which is designed to withstand hits from golf balls, got hit in the corner of the thick windshield and shattered. A golfball hitting someone can easily kill them (obviously depending on the amount of motion of the ball and where it hits).
So just treat it like a gun, don't point where humans are. - whymanwhy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Someone need to get the British off real-player. The UK is the last hold for real....
- Truegod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Except YOU would be the sucker... They probably pay more for the bucket then the actual balls. You can get used balls cheaper.
- tamoneya, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4puts potato guns to shame
- macjonesnz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3** 404 ** If you're getting a 404...

- slantyeyed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2work content filtering blocked this site out for . . . "categorized as Criminal Skills, Weapons" . . . awesome, I haven't seen that category before at work!
- svidrod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2real media ftl. but great project.
- macatticus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Brilliant!
- adam.skinner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheMarineBiologist.htm
- Darth_tater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1they _are_ a lot of fun to play with :)
googel is your friend, and you can learn how to make theese materials. - graemee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2In before dugg, lots of pictures.
- Invader02, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well here's a few pictures of it blowing up a monitor and a small TV
http://invader02.googlepages.com/home
mirror for all six pictures that i got to... - FurtThePirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah I was thinking of making a cannon that shot tennis balls but oh man this would be so much better (insert evil laughter here)
- Cosmosis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I'll mirror it if someone can get me the site if they've already viewed it. Reply and I'll give contact info.
- a7knight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, that would be so destructive. Potatos are bad, but a golfball could pierce the metal of a car if shot at high speeds. Hahahahaha... Even better for shooting!
- sirplus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ah, finally loaded the page. dude, this is irresponsible! that's a serious hazard to life and limb! well, i suppose beavis and butthead have to do something with their free time.
- kyle9013, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That site isnt working for me. is there another link or something?
- marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1guh.. seems like the page has been f'd and the a.. perhaps someone has a link to a mirror?
- Xeppo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Zybch, I Seriously hope you were kidding.
VLC and MPC are far slimmer than WMP. Granted, I'd use WMP long before I would resort to realplayer. - tylerman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Been using golf balls for years in my potato cannon.
I have never found a golf ball after its been shot so I have no idea how far they have gone. Even having multiple friends watch, we lose the ball in the sky. =) lots of fun - Chozabu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1err, seems to be mostly america from over here...
- vertigoblue, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2use an orange ball...
- Korvaras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2While extremely cool... I'd be concerned about how far it would go, and where it would land. I mean... could you imagine accidently killing someone with it?
"Man tending his garden, killed by golfball, that no one saw land."
Deadly.
And yeah. Potatoes are bio degradable... earth friendly... safer too. - kyle9013, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ok good now its loading w00t. looks pretty bad ass!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, a bucket of balls at my local range is like $7. And they're all cracked and moldy. Well, that's good enough for a cannon I suppose. You get a free ticket with each bucket, collect enough and you get a free bucket!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can some one please upload to google video or you tube
- drawkbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Whos gonna load up their big bertha driver with one of these, i want that video.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FORE!!!!
/Heads up! - eklitzke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1According to the article, they can shoot golf balls seven miles.
- royeiror, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember making a tennis ball cannon out of Campbell's soup cans... just duct taped 3 or 4 together, with all the capt taken out but the one on the bottom, drop a few drops of alcohol, and bam... the ball flew straight up... sorry never got to hold the damn thing and point it at something/someone. too bad i can't see this thing... I'll have to wait
- ojk007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol D2D
Dugg 2 Death - tylerman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1tried that also
trust me we tried everything but a smoke trail to keep track of the ball - TalonTrax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You're right, I don't need to download RealPlayer THAT bad. The secrets to the universe on video would not be worth it for me to download RealPlayer.
- GreenLantern33, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ya, I can't see it :(
Someone post a mirror! - mystictrance, on 07/07/2008, -0/+0that's a page with blue background but all pictures (jpegs) and download links are disabled. In nutshell everything is f*ed up.
anyway, where i live i don't have much time and resources to experiment on this project. but acquiring this censored info. wud still be interesting. - iceburn2003, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ummm yeah. I think it would be a pretty bad idea to aim this at a person... Its a freakin' cannon.
- reddeath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0somebody make the planes on a link that gives u them without the 404
- mystictrance, on 07/07/2008, -0/+0well... sounds cool. but all the given links related to golf ball cannon just don't open. seems it has been done purposely by some who r authorized to do so.
but it has only made me more curious to know what this deadly information was!!?
there is a web page which starts like this" This can kill u and some of your idiot friends - describing the whole project in detail. Can anyone please help me in getting this information? - cawpin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Potatos will go through a car door. Trust me, I know.
- timtastic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:XA0aiRh1ZlcJ:www.plans-kits.com/project2.html
