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 (http://www.jetcityspecialties.com/FoamRocket.htm). (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.

- Be generous and courteous, remember what this whole thing is for! (RIP Nil8r)
- The bidding will start at $180.
