large range!!

I just made a gun with a 10 bullet magazine that shoot's 72.1784778 feet!!!!!!!!!!!!! with four rubberbands!!!!!! I think it can hold more but I haven't tried yet. What I wanted to know is how to make a good measurement system for proving range, I would appreciate if someone could tell me. (Also I told people my oodammo sniper shot 90 feet, this was a mistake, I thought a meter was 4.5 feet).

I will soon post a video proving the (unangled) range.
Edit: I will not post the video since there is so little interest

Kinetic's VICE CKG gets 80 FT range for me.
And I'm using 2 #117 rubber bands!

It's true bolt action.

Jesus. in reply to Mr. MuggleApr 30, 2010. 12:56 PM
There is none. I just built it from a forum topic.
Just search Kinetic (it's on the second page).

Average distance for the amount of bands in all honesty.

Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to Storm950Jan 13, 2010. 10:44 AM
Do you know a mag fed gun that fires any further than 70 feet then?

also, they are only 4, that's not so much.

KnexFreek in reply to Mr. MuggleMar 19, 2010. 4:10 PM
 The Tankbow can get over 100. And its pump action. LOL
30
DJ Radio in reply to KnexFreekMar 19, 2010. 5:27 PM
But the tankbow is a slingshot/crossbow, as opposed to a ram gun.

KnexFreek in reply to DJ RadioMar 19, 2010. 7:16 PM
 Well quoting him Mr muggle said
"Do you know a mag fed gun that fires any further than 70 feet then?"
He never said anything about a ram! LOLZ

ZKAR, MeZak, AR4-v3, yes. There are some.

Seleziona in reply to travwJan 14, 2010. 6:13 PM
that zkar shoots really damn hard......

travw in reply to SelezionaJan 14, 2010. 6:15 PM

Indeed.

Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to travwJan 13, 2010. 11:29 PM
here is ZKAR range:

travw in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 14, 2010. 6:20 PM
"+50 ft."

So, in other words, fifty feet or more. Mine gets like 65-80, depending on wind, if the bands are worn, etcetera.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to travwJan 14, 2010. 10:43 PM
ok, But I never said this is the best gun ever. I just told people the range....

travw in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 15, 2010. 2:30 PM
You said: "Do you know a mag fed gun that fires any further than 70 feet then?".
We answered you.

Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to travwJan 16, 2010. 12:19 AM
yeah ok, I shouldn't have said that
30
DJ Radio in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 14, 2010. 4:40 PM
I get 50 feet with 2 bands.  With 4 it goes over 70.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to DJ RadioJan 14, 2010. 10:44 PM
Yeah, It's a great gun, just like the AR4 v3, I'm not saying this gun is better, I just told people the range
5
travw in reply to DJ RadioJan 14, 2010. 4:47 PM
Exactly.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to travwJan 13, 2010. 11:24 PM
mezak shoots 60 feet +
zkar shoots 50 feet +
AR4 v3 might shoot above 70 feet but nobody ever told/ showed a range as far as I know
5
travw in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 14, 2010. 3:21 PM
That's ZKAR. ZBA shoots much further.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to travwJan 14, 2010. 10:46 PM
ok, I guess it could indeed do a lot more than 50+ feet, since there's no mag friction.
30
DJ Radio in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 14, 2010. 1:11 PM
Mezak has the capability to go over 70.
ZKAR v2 shoots 50 with 2 bands.  4 bands gets it over 70.
AR-4 gets same ranges as ZKAR v2, maybe slightly better because its a tube design.  But that's a difference of a few feet lol.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to DJ RadioJan 14, 2010. 10:45 PM
Ok
30
DJ Radio in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 13, 2010. 1:11 PM
ZKAR and AR4 v3 both fire at least 70 feet with 4 bands.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to DJ RadioJan 13, 2010. 11:37 PM
I never said my gun is better than those
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to DJ RadioJan 13, 2010. 11:36 PM
zak says his v2 shoots only 50+ feet

DJ Radio in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 14, 2010. 1:09 PM
Wrong ZKAR.  That's the first one.  I get 50 from the second version with 2 bands.  Put 4 on and you get over 70.

chopstx in reply to DJ RadioJan 13, 2010. 3:09 PM
Yeah, on my ZKAR, I have 1 big (toy)slingshot band, and I get 400 feet with that!

DJ Radio in reply to chopstxJan 13, 2010. 3:30 PM
No way that could happen man.

chopstx in reply to DJ RadioJan 13, 2010. 5:14 PM
Sorry, I meant 40 feet, typo.

shadowninja31 in reply to DJ RadioJan 13, 2010. 3:45 PM
is that an extra 0 on the end?

chopstx in reply to shadowninja31Jan 13, 2010. 5:14 PM
Yes, typo. I meant 40 feet.

shadowninja31 in reply to chopstxJan 13, 2010. 5:16 PM
okay good

chopstx in reply to shadowninja31Jan 13, 2010. 5:18 PM
No, I really meant 400 feet! lol sarcasm.

DJ Radio in reply to shadowninja31Jan 13, 2010. 3:53 PM
Possibly.  Or he's being sarcastic, which I find pointless.

shadowninja31 in reply to DJ RadioJan 13, 2010. 3:55 PM
i have to agree

chopstx says: Jan 13, 2010. 5:15 PM
Is that an oodammo mag? Also, will you P0$T?

Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to chopstxJan 13, 2010. 11:34 PM
1: yes it is
2: If I get a high rating on the video which I'm working on

Danielzxzx1 says: Jan 14, 2010. 12:56 PM
Wow, does it really shoot exaclly 72.1784778 feet? That would be funny if it did. It looks like a nice gun. I have not made it though but I might.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to Danielzxzx1Jan 14, 2010. 10:48 PM
no, I just measured in meters and calculated it to feet, lol
28
shadowninja31 says: Jan 13, 2010. 3:46 PM
i doubt this is better than the untangle
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to shadowninja31Jan 13, 2010. 11:33 PM
I never said it was, also that's a single shot while this one is mag fed.
28
shadowninja31 in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 14, 2010. 7:25 AM
oh ok well the way you said it made it sound like you were saying this was better
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to shadowninja31Jan 14, 2010. 10:35 AM
mm, maybe that's why everyone keeps telling me there are other mag fed guns with a 70+ feet range, I know this but it's like people are accusing me of saying this is the best gun ever
28
shadowninja31 in reply to Mr. MuggleJan 14, 2010. 3:55 PM
okay.
19
TheDunkis says: Jan 14, 2010. 5:20 AM
Looks like a bit over overkill too me... I'd probably add a ZKAR stock onto the end of the Mezak or something similar enough and call that good enough.
But you what would be great for proving range? Make a video, clearly show the rubber bands, clearly show yourself shooting it, then without switching scenes or anything, grab some measuring tape and make your way out to the spot where the ammo landed.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to TheDunkisJan 14, 2010. 5:54 AM
I don't understand your first sentence, but thanks for the video advice

travw says: Jan 13, 2010. 5:59 PM
Sorry dude, but there's not a whole lot of point to this. No removable mag, no tilting mag, unnecessarily bulky, etcetera, etcetera.
19
Mr. Muggle (author) in reply to travwJan 13, 2010. 11:15 PM
It does have a removable mag, a tilting mag is practically impossible since this is an oodammo gun, It's gotta be bulky because there is a lot of force on the ram.
