Instead of filling all that empty space with hot glue try filling it with a powder like baking soda etc. but leave a space for glue. This will fill in that space quickly and save glue. You can even add a colored powder. Here is another idea. I have never tried this myself but melt the glue sticks in a small pot with a pouring spout to fill the ends. If it works then the glue left in the pan can be reused. If it doesn’t work then you just pissed off the wife. Thanks for the video
After you fire them how do you get the shotgun primers out? I have some Signal Source aluminum casing and I'm having a helluva hard time getting them out.
I have the plastic casings and I use 50 grains of ffg triple 7 powder for my lift charge how many times do you think the casings will be to be reloaded.
Kind of pricy but you get what you pay for. I use one dram of shotgun powder with a peace of aluminum duct tape trimmed over it and the fuse cut on an angle to punch thrust when assembled to launch my fireworks. Surprisingly the recoil is not bad but the weight of the weapon has a lot to do with it
Black powder is only measured by volume,, due to consistency and particle size,, rifle powder is measured by weight due to the manufacturing process and pellet, grain size
I noticed you added about 50/60 grains. Can you get more of an explosive effect with a heavier amount of powder, let's say 200 grains? Have you fooled around with a more pwerful banger? Thanks
there are a bunch of laws regarding how big the charge can be until it becomes regulated as a destructive device and you have to have the tax stamp and register your projector.... you should really look into the federal and local laws before getting into stuff like this.
If i remember correctly i believe 60 grains is the legal limit. More than that it becomes a stupid nfa item, then you have to deal with the government. And i would never do that ;), yes it would make a bigger bang
What diameter is the casings and barrel? I am been trying to figure this out. I know 37mm = 1.45 inches. But is the barrel inner diameter 1.45 or 1.5 inches?
@@stevewilliamson8526 he weighs it because grain is a unit of measure and doesn’t refer to the physical quantity of “grains” of powder 1 grain is is just about 6.4/100 of a gram
@@ZOIMIBiIE If you look on a black powder horn the nipple at the end where you dispence the powder is stamped in grainsI use 100 grains in my rifle and 40 in my pistole. I think your thinking of grams?.
@@stevewilliamson8526 no, I’m not. Google “1 grain to gram” Different brand powders come in different sizes, shapes and tolerances. Not to mention can be abrasive against themselves in whatever vessel so shouldn’t have any assumption of consistency within “batch,” lacking a better term. Grain is a unit of mass, the term come from Troy grain. If you mix up grain and gram in any kind of hand load, you’re gonna have a bad time. Pretending that all black powder or smokeless powder is the same size per individual piece is about the same reasoning as saying all grains of sand on the planet are within an acceptable tolerance of one another. You can Google “1 grain to gram” You can buy hornady powder scales that literally measure grains, using the symbol “gn.” Try googling “gn unit of measure” Reloading manuals come with calculations for a medley of powders for this exact reason. Not all are the same shape or size, which directly correlates to the rate it burns, which in turn alters the pressure within a cartridge. The reason the powder horns are stamped is again, it’s a unit of mass. You can get an approximation (of volume) by scooping into a pre measured vessel as they did in the old days. Note- Not at all trying to be abrasive or an asshole at all with this comment. I’m only trying to point out facts (and Google references) in hopes that someone sees this and in a butterfly effect sort of way, doesn’t blow theirselves up.
Smokeless powder is much more powerful that black powder. You can but that's a different topic. Instead of 50g of black powder, it's more like 3-5g and requires a high low system with a burst disk.
Flash powder is sensitive to shock. I wouldn't use it in these even if it is legal. You would have to do a lot of research and experimentation to find a formula that doesn't blow up in your launcher. But I'm lazy and I like having fingers, hands, and arms. Never put anything in your launcher that would scare you, or kill you if it blows up in the barrel.
@@justinbaker8873 perchlorate flash isn't too sensitive as long as there's no sulfur added. I definitely wouldn't be hand firing it until I knew it was safe. I'd expect that most 37mm bird bangers use flash, since the flare gun ones an shotgun types use it as the "bang" part.
