@Ubedarun

well in this one I only used the camera wires, but now im using a kind of switch like the ones we use to turn the lights on in our homes (I really dont know the name :P)

yeah, sorry to comment back till today, I was actually in shock when I saw the video in my computer, I said

"God, that was f*cking close!"

now I've made another one, which is much more safe lol

i have to add that the box wasn´t empty, i put some magazines and papers inside of it, thats why the proyectile bouces off

Kudos on your first coilgun! I like the barrel and coil assembly, very clean design.

[recurveninja]
