OT: How to Make a 25mm Bolt Action Sniper Rifle out of PVC Piping

Snicker. Gosh that almost looked dangerous. Who will go to jail for political retraining.

Nothing new here! The French had air muskets (as opposed to "air rifles") around 1801 or so. In fact Lewis & Clark had some on their expedition to inspect the Louisiana Purchase.

I think the word sniper is over used. I also would avoid high pressures and plastic unless one wants to be a Darwin canditate.

Yeah, that's an invitation to disaster. PVC tends to shatter when it lets go, with some pretty sharp shards.

Good point, Wes!

Didja notice the scope on a smooth-bore weapon?

I liked the part at the end where they looked behind their cardboard box target to see where the projectile went. I thought I caught a glimpse of a house or other structure behind their target. You can tell that none of their dads ever took them hunting. You must also look beyond what you're shooting at to see what's behind your target. The workmanship looked pretty good in the fuzzy video though. Ten years from now they'll be here in rec.crafts.metalworking.....
