Joerg over at the land where bang sticks are verboten, has made his very own non-bang bang stick - And out of his Christmas Tree non-the-less.  Nothing spreads the good cheer of Baby Jesus better than a lethal Tannenbaum Zombie killer.

Nice.  Guess this is German technology.  I wondder if some far off ansester did not come up iwth this idea?  Rubber parts, could be from various animals parts treated in the correct way.  I will have to remember this.  When our boom sticks are verboten over here after 16 years of dhimecrap rule.

Those of you with artificial trees may find that the required notching and whittling will go rather slowly without an industrial bandsaw...

 And here I thought the trees were only good for making firebombs....

Oh Christmas tree,
Oh Christmas tree,
Soon you will be a WMD.

Oh Christmas tree,
Oh Christmas tree,
Re-purposed you will shortly be.

The steel ball bearing
Shiny bright
From leather pouch
Flies true and right.

Oh Christmas tree,
Oh Christmas tree,
Soon you will be a WMD.

Interesting use of an old christmas tree. Just one nagging question, I'm not talking about the peg. I'm talking about the trigger or the piece that releases the bands. The question, "Where on the christmas tree did he find that particular trigger, shown in the video?" Answer, I don't think he did, my guess would be apple wood. They make the heads for wood mallets out of apple wood.

Much better than using a bunch of old Christmas trees to make a fort out of. When I was about 10 or 11 we lived on 10 acres next to a housing development. I went all around the place asking people for their old thrown-out Christmas trees. Surprisingly I only got asked once or twice why I wanted them, most people gave their okay with no questions. My brother and I built a fort out of a bunch of them, I seem to remember we had over 40. We played in it for a week or so until my dad told us to get rid of it. Big mistake! He didn't say what we were to do with the old trees so we just piled them all up and lit them on fire.

The fire didn't last long but it was IMPRESSIVE! I heard one of the neighbors complain that the flames were over 100 feet high. By the time the fire department got there nothing was left but some of the larger trunks still burning and a surprisingly small pile of ashes.

We had to move when I was 12 because the city bought our land for Schlagle High School, I still miss the house we lived in there.

Sorta makes ya wonder what's the largest size ball bearing that you can use before the BATFE comes after you...

Nothing over 1/2 inch.

So .50 caliber is OK then?
}:-]

Of course, they MAY be too busy spinning Project Gunwalker to do anything for a while.  But then using their "logic" in previous actions, if the weapon is CAPABLE of firing anything larger than 1/2", it will be deemed as having been designed to do so, won't it?

 Limited to .50 cal, huh? Tell that to the muzzel of my Zouave.

Blackpowder and antiques excepted, PE.

Ya want a Brown Bess in .75, no problem.

Ya want a 20mm anti-tank gun?  Paperwork.

As long as it is green, and renewable.
