Murdoc hasn’t paintballed for 15 years. NASA’s hybrid air/gun power gun
The latest Popular Mechanics (Jan 2009) has an article about the 12 foot long vertical gun NASA has at the Ames Research Center. The gun is used to simulate impacts from meteor and space debris. What is very interesting is that it utilizes a hybrid air gun / gun powder system. It uses a gunpowder charge to accelerate a piston which compresses hydrogen gas to 100,000 psi (maximum pressure of a .338 Lapua Magnum is 60,916 psi). This propels a saboted projectile at 26,400 fps! The piston system Action Airgun Wrap-up
The Premier Season of Action Airgun has concluded as of yesterday - for a wrap-up and summary from the champion, head over to the Gun Nuts Radio Blog. I am happy that I won the title - after all, I wasn’t shooting the competition to lose, but for the upcoming “Season 1″ I’m hoping that more shooters will participate for the duration of the season. There were a lot of drop outs, including the shooter with whom (in the opening weeks) I was neck and neck with for 1st place. For a full season wrSave the Whales! Park Your Car.
The quest for more oil and natural gas is turning the oceans into a cacophony, from the perspective of whales and dolphins.

Oceans and seas are becoming noisier with more vessels, increased seismic surveys for oil and gas, off-shore construction and recreation, and a new generation of military sonars, an alliance of wildlife groups said today. They warn that the cacophony is intensifying threats to marine mammals that use sound to communicate, forage for food and find mates.

For those who haven’t had the background on this horrendous event. Foggy was a little Bedlington Terrier who lived with his doting owners in Norfolk. On August the 1st of this year, Foggy was shot dead by the head of the local parish council who lived next door to Foggy’s owners.

I love war games. I'm what you may call as a weekend warrior. Along with some friends, we play mock assaults and rescues with airsoft guns.

This weekend, I was looking up information on NRA Action Pistol, specifically I was trying to find information on the different competitive classes - Open, Metallic and Production. I was intensely frustrated by this, as the information on the website at www.nrahq.org is obtuse at best, and irritating at worst. As an example, to find the rulebook for the game, I first click on “Competitive Shooting” and then on NRA Action Pistol, which seemed like a pretty logical path. Unfortunately, the page IPBA ARMOR .177 Pellets
Gamo have released a new .117 pellet called the PBA ARMOR. The PBA stands for “Performance Ballistic Alloy” which is a non-lead alloy. The alloy used in these pellets is harder than the alloy used in the PBA/Raptor pellets, hence the name.

It was a weekend spent sitting, driving, driving, sitting, driving… well, you get the picture. And without a trout at the end of any of those drives - and all my little small streams closing as the General Trout Season ended on Saturday - you could say my “regular” season ended not with a bang, but with the whimper of tires on the highway.

I’ve been shooting Action Airgun for a month now - and I’m pleased to say that I can now throw my full support behind it, and offer an unconditional endorsement of their game. Up until this most recent week, they had an issue with scoring system, which was extremely frustrating for a guy who is described as “hyper competitive” by his own wife. However, it appears that the scoring issue has been fixed, so now after a month’s worth of shooting let me offer my review of Action Airgun, starting wAdventure Weekend @ SAFRA Yishun
While I’ve never been much of an adrenaline junkie or risk-taker, I’ve been up to some really reckless and crazy activities in this couple of weeks like attempting to drive a 250cc dune buggy on a dirt trail with no prior driving experience, but all these mad ideas really pale in comparison to last weekend’s adventure.
