ErikW Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 erik, put this on the brains web page for open gun comp.maybe they will see how it works, FLAT. all you need is a high speed cam and off you go. this was james at the last richmond match thanks, john r I think the James in question is forum member ong45 and this is his Limcat foo-foo gun.

short_round Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Erik, somehow your Munch Avatar and that exploding ball of flame (that ong45 swears he never sees) are very appropriate together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 some fireball....what kind of powder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 let me guess VV powder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ong45 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 10.4 grains of 3n38 behind a mg 121ifp. I think the reason the flame and the brass looks that distorted has to do with the speed setting on the camera. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 That is one spectacular fireball. I know a few people who shoot with this much fire every time, but it is disconcerting to me so I try to avoid it. I have noticed that VV 3n37 and N350 give a rather bright flash when the temperature is below 50 and now I know that 3n38 can also. It's interesting that some slower powders, even VV N105 don't do this. I was once told that this is a characteristic of a barrel that is getting shot out, but I don't know.

GRD Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Is just an illusion, or is the brass in that top pic absolutely shredded? - Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 It's interesting that some slower powders, even VV N105 don't do this. I don't know for .38" SA in 5" barrels, but you should see my Taurus 7-shot .357" M ported snubby at work with 17.5 grs of VV N110... Maybe if I can gather some un-scared buddy near me shooting, I'll be able to post a pic or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxshooter Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I shoot the same load in an SV IMM, I wonder if it flashes like that? I have never noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ok, that is insane. i wonder if mine is that bad. I have never seen the flash, but I know the gas coming up busts up anything above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Boy, now I am REALLY glad I found some 3n-38, I have not been able to generate any sort of fireball at all out of my gun and I want to just for the sake of doing it. The winter indoor season will be a lot more fun with fireballs like that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 3n37 with encapsulated bullets tends to do the trick...helps to have lots of ports too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Pat's got it. 3N37 in an open gun is the ticket for fire balls. I get them occasionally with N350 in my Viper. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'd get some with 4756, but it would be "flick, flick, flick, boom, flick, boom!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I get NO fire with 3n-37 and JHP bullets in my 5" 9mm, no ports either. I have never shot it in the dark but I don't even get a fuzz of fire in the corner of the DIM indoor range. Blazer aluminum case is as exciting as the light show gets for me, big orange sparks fly out but that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
