Auction Closed, Grats to Exarach for winning the AT4 at $300.
Charity Auction for Ron [Nil8r] Bilodeau's AT-4 Launcher
*I will be bringing this launcher to the Sasco Game 1/12/13 if anybody wants to look at it*
I was asked to refurbish and sell Ron's AT-4 LaunchIher. So here it is! I have spent about $100 refurbishing/rebuilding this AT-4 to bring it back to operation, however I will NOT be asking for any re-reimbursement for my time or money spent. Everything goes to Ron's Family!
To build this exact launcher from scratch would cost roughly $200, and it would not have the end flares like this one. These were copied from a real AT-4 via molds and 2 part rubber/silicone casting. Meaning the end flares look exactly the same as a real one. (same size too)
This launcher is constructed (from what I can tell) from ABS, PVC, and CPVC. Using a Quick Exhaust Valve to dump the chamber and fire the rocket (much more efficient and consistent than a ball valve). It uses a small red handled ball valve for a safety, to fire, simply turn the red handle to the firing position, and pull the keyring forward with your thumb. (Very easy)
It launches 2 inch Nerf Vortex Rockets or
JCS F69 Rockets. (or whatever else you want to put in it that is 2" diameter)
It accepts standard 12g CO2 Cartridges or 4oz Refillable CO2 Tanks. (Standard 12g cartridge provides 1 - 2 shots depending on pressure setting)
The Velocity (and therefore range) is adjustable by changing the pressure on the regulator in the rear of the launcher.
Upon delivery of the Launcher, I will instruct the winner on it's proper use.
If you have any questions about the launcher, just post a reply and ask, I want to keep all questions public so they don't get asked twice.
