**moT** · 16th July 2008, 13:12

I shot a possom out of a tree last week with my home made avo cannon it died.. I am also trying to figure out the velocity of the avocado when it is shot theres a method of doing this by takeing the weight of the avo and the weight of a block of wood which is suspended by 2 strings then by shooting the block measureing the angle of displacement of the block hence work out the momentum and velocity of the avo. im not 100% sure on the process could someone explain

bring it to the pub on thursday, you stand at the other end of the car park with a stopwatch, when you yell "go" i will shoot it at you, you can work out the velocity using the time it takes for you wake up.

and whats with an "avo" cannon? thats so metrosexual, eddie using that shit for a facial scrub.

real men use spud guns.

thats 1 method but very unreliable as there is human error, i found that avocados are a perfect fit and are in plentiful supply where i live, potatos i have to go down to food town

How precise do you need your measurement to be?

maths is by far the more universal language

rough estimate as there will be vairiation between shots as weigt of shot changes, air/fuel mix changes. so i propably will do the process a few times to get a average FPS might be worth doing a R(squared) regression

Very interestng...hmmm got any pics of this Avo cannon?. Ive got a Possum in my roof & as im a Kiwi i reckon im allowed to kill the fucker.Stupid animals are pr

otected here. Would said weapon work on Rabbits too?
