 This is backyardarsenal.com's
third year on the web so far. Thanks for all the input on the site's new
appearance. If anyone has any suggestions or comments
about the site, please feel free to contact me. Among other things,
the products list has been extensively modified. Check the page out for
information on plans, blueprints, kits etc. I have recently come across some new
ideas for pneumatic valves involving removing the electrical components and
using a manual trigger instead to improve valve speed. You can look at the
design on my spudguns page. As soon as this research is complete, pre-made
custom sniper rifles and bazookas etc. will be available. Keep watching for further advancements and updates.
  This
is the most popular of all my sites. I have built several spud guns of
varying performances and designs and will be designing more in the near
future. They range in design from the average spud chucker to a shoulder
fired bazooka capable of putting big holes in things. Plans and kits for
several of these have been nearly completed and will be for sale in the near
future.
  Finally
I have gotten around to constructing some decent sized hovercrafts. I have
only completed two working anti-gravitational vehicles thus far. One is a
model and the other is an actual human supporting craft. The third and
most advanced craft is still being constructed. You can view and monitor
its progress as it is built on this site. I'm having a bit of trouble with
the skirt design at the moment, so any and all ideas are welcome.
 The
contents in this site are by far the most dangerous projects. I have
completed a few minor concoctions as well as a lot of research. But I am still an amateur when it comes to this field
and am welcome to any recipes or ideas anyone has.
 Model
rockets are just for kids are they? Well think again. Why bother spending
money on expensive black powder propellant engines when you could just use air,
water, and matches? This site contains lots of information on designed
efficient and cheap rockets out of common household items. You can even
use a spud gun to shoot some rockets to amazing altitudes.
 This is
a 
new site that I have designed for displaying a few weapons resembling siege
engines. So far only two engines have been completed. One is only a
small catapult that throws coins that I built as a test model for a larger
version that I have designed. The latest engines are scaled model
trebuchets. These engines were a result of a class project that the history
classes of New Covenant Schools designed and built. The larger one stands
over 15 ft. tall and
can hurl a projectile about 100 yrds.
 From
plans of how to construct a gun or gadget to a kit with all those hard to find
pieces, this page has it all. This page is constantly being extended and
is open for input if there is anything out there that you simply can't find or
understand. All plans are carefully drawn with precision programs to give
a clear, accurate view of the different constructions. This page has a
completely new appearance and format to it now. Check it out.
 For
my sake please read this page before asking all those mindless questions.
I don't respond to e-mail that concerns the information listed in this
site. other than that, I answer all my e-mail.
