Home Made Rocket Launcher

And use a spell checker please, or take the time to correct yourself. The rest of us do it, no reason why you can't.

Here is something additional to consider-
Making TAC qualified rocket launchers have to follow the same guidelines as grenades in terms of them having to be replicas of a real one. Meaning any ol nerf rocket can't be brought out, it has to be AT4/RPG/MANPADS/etc replica of some sort.

While the guidlines for launchers is perhaps another topic, I will add that out outside of the M203, and the GP30 a cost effective LAWS, AT4 or RPG is way outside of most folks budget. Spending 300-700 for a luancher that has no more killing ability than An M203 is a waste IMO.
I did see a very nice one some one built over on AA, and it does look a lot like a real AT4.

Any home brewed compressed rocket luancher design should be inspected by TAC for safety.

Yes scott you are right this will be out of the question for many people, perhaps we should have a discussion about it at the next TAC meeting in person to get things ironed out.

TAC already has the rules in place for home brew launchers, this was decided on quite awhile ago as any kind of non-commercial compressed air device must be thoroughly inspected and operated only by 18+ (I think this is what the rule states I am not sure on the exact verbage). So we have nothing to worry about there .

Why do TAC need to inspect a nnewmatic weapon if it shoots it should be fine.

Why do TAC need to inspect a nnewmatic weapon if it shoots it should be fine.

Home-built pneumatic devices have not had a gang of engineering degrees, 1000's of man hours, computer driven tool and die, and precision knowledgeable hand craftsmanship to put them together. This makes these devices inherently dangerous and must be tested. Airsoft is not a SAFE sport and it is up to all of us to try and not damage each other.

If you Value your life hearing groin chest you would think about making one safely. Trust me I had one blow up on me the force of compression will be one of the most painful sensations of your life.

...... Compressed air at say 150 PSI will drive a PVC shrapnel right through your skull.. or worse someone elses skull.

And, I think 150 psi is the legal national limit is it not?
