I'll put the new additions here at the top of the post. Due to popular demand, da da dahhhhhHHHH!!!!!! The Dragon has been slain.



I figured a Dragon deserved an proper medieval weapon, so I took down one of my copper pipe 12th century PCP guns, from the early days of amusing myself in the shop during the knife years. I also choose a wooden "bolt" for the deed.



The gun will produce about 50 fpe on 120 psi (as I recall). My handy shop line only wanted to fill to 85 psi today. It was enough.



I got off a couple of good shots, and a couple of near "clips"



Decided it needed an armored tip! And, as you see ... while it skewed some ... it still packed a whollop!



And ... took down the beastie!!! (All Cheer!!!! The Castle is Safe Once More!!!!!)


Previous post material follows: .......


Well, the duct seal was just sitting there after I opened the shop this am.

No fear ... This was a quick dragon ... I opened the shop, made the dragon, photographed it, and the coffee was still hot in the cup! haha.



Now, I had to photoshop the pic anyway to post. hehe. So, I couldn't resist sliding some of the controls. heheh










Now ... I just have to think of some suitable way to blast the critter! haah.

Man, I knew there would be trouble when Kent posted the Ballistic Bear. Good work.

Dragons need to be on the receiving end of sharp, pointy objects. How about some darts?

Hi Jim,

I sent Kelly these three pics for her to print for our Triplet granddaughters. Kelly's visiting them in Arz. ya know. She says ... you are NOT going to shoot that cute thing are you? hahaha. She said if she worked for 12 hours on one ... if would look like a "Puffalump". hahahha. And she said ... ".... and I'd be the only one that knew it was a Puffalump" .... I got a good belly laugh out of that. hahahahah.

Darts huh? Hey ... maybe a Trebuchet!!!

Gary

SHOOT IT!!! SHOOT IT!!!

But wait, what did St George use? Doesn't Gary have to get on his horse and charge this fire-breathing beast with a sword or a lance?

Fire Breathing!!!! Oh Course!!

I didn't want to take the time, but it sure would be better that way. haha.

Gary

Well, It's obvious, you need to go to the big box and buy another 20 pounds, so that you can make it bigger and able to stop the .58. Dory

See what happens when I leave. Everything at home becomes a zoo!! hehehe!

Are the colored version supposed to be "Puff the Magic Dragon"?? Looks kinda funky to me!!

LIVE FROM ARIZONA--

Kelly

Hi Babe!

Right ... you won't let me shoot in the house when you're home - (remember, we talked about that). hahaha.

Hope Arizona is good to ya. Thanks for checkin' in.

Miss ya.

Gary

Hi Kelly! Is it OK if Gary shoots the dragon? We really want to see the dragon get shot. It could be another test for the Appaloosa...

Yeah ... we can blast the beast. But ... even with the "muzzler" ... it's too late tonight. The dragon will have to wait. And then, in the morning, see .... I'll sneak up on him, see .... And BLAST the BEASTIE real good!!!!!

Gary

Yeah--he can shoot it. He can always make something else. But NO turtles though!!!!

Kelly

OK. Gary...NO turtles! I'm going to guess that kittens are OK...

I'd NEVER. We're an official "turtle refuge" here.

Hey ... I ordered some "real clay" today. I'll make you are "real" turtle ... well ... not with all the "stuff inside" that makes it crawl ... ... but a real ceramic turtle. haha.

Gary

Shoot for its soft underbelly, the dragon, not the turtle. ( I added that for Kelly)

The weather has cleared here and I need to shoot some tomorrow. I'll need to build a friend and get the camera.

Kent

Excellent!

What cha gonna make up this time? Life sized Wild Boar?

Can't wait to see what you come up with. No pressure now!!! haha.

Gary

Excellent!

(trying to get the crowd to chant)...Shoot the dragon! Shoot the dragon! Shoot the dragon!

Carefull I can see a side line of armor and damascus swords with an airrifle attached

Posted new pics of the Dragon being Slain!!!

Take a look.

Sir Gary

I thought you shot vampires in the heart with the stake......

Always good to keep some stakes around.

;?)

Gary

Someone is having way too much fun! Nice shooting Sir Gary.

Hmmm....that wooden bolt looks like a very handy ammunition type. If you should somehow miss, just run out and grab it and you can use it to beat the target instead. ; )

Just make sure the enemy doesn't have the same sort of gun, that can "shoot it back!"

hehe.

Gary

Think you will find that dragons are out of season. Watch out for Ye Olde Gamewarden !

aww ,,, feel bad you scoundrells , i thought the dragon was cute , why not make some baby seals , or the odd dolphin to shoot instead.
more power to the dragon liberation front.
