I am an engineer. Born that way, grew up that way. I do not remember anything ever really fostering it. When some people look at something and say its broken. I look at it and say how does it work and what idiot made it so that could happen that way.
This leads me into bad habbits with hobbies. This is especially true with scenario paintball. And my ever living quest to engineer something better then whats available.
My first cannon i ever did was a hair spray powered Potato cannon built at the local ace hardware.. Very simple but god that thing was fun. Ignited with a aim in Flame stuck in the rear of it, i blew up my Mom's smoker on the back deck at 100 yards.
My 2nd was propane powered and ignited on a 1/2 inch gap with the internals out of a Disposable camera with a flash... WOW, beasty..
My 3rd i built for paintball, its a electro-pnuematic bolt action nerf launcher.. Built on some Ion parts... I nick named it the ION cannon..
My 4th is in the implementation/testing stage, I designed it for Bobio's tank, and he should be sporting it at bear claw hopefully.. I dont think he wants me to post details... but it will definatly put this look on your face...
because it puts this look on my face
when i think about its capabilities when it is finished...
