The power hammer should be the right thing. I know the cement and framing guys use hammers that use .22 blanks.

Else we will just pull the bullet off a regular 22 short and either crimp it or put some soap in it. From: David Coudron Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2020 5:17 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT new project You can use a regular pistol and regular blanks. I bought a lot of these for my uncle who was the coordinator for track and field in Hawaii. We just bought regular blanks even thought they had starting pistols, so you can use them in a regular pistol. He mixed black powder and regular powder. Black powder for official races, regular for practice. .22 and a .22 pistol should work well. I wouldn’t mess with the black powder though as it is tough on the pistol and harder to get. Let me know if you have a tough time finding them, I might be able to help.

I will get it dialed in after some initial testing. The problem with the starter pistol is that I think the sound comes out of an area that is somewhat diffuse. If we put a blank in a pistol then the sound should come from the barrel.

You can get .22 or .32 caliber blanks. Don’t bother with the black powder blanks, they are harder to get and cost more. The black powder only helps if you need visual verification of the shot before the noise reaches you (like the timer in a race).

Thinking of a starter pistol. Banging on the side of the pipe is not good enough. Need a loud pop that I can do over and over. Whatever makes the noise need to be small. Not sure if there is a small loudspeaker that could produce an impulse sharp and loud enough. Do they still make cap pistols? Not sure if toy caps would be loud enough or not. ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
