My technological advantage is gone. DJ has a longer sword.

What's the physical construction of your boffa-weaponry like? What materials and what binding do you use?

right, traditional boffa-weapons.

If you have a local natural gas distributor, it may be worth your time to go to their service department (pretend you have a mobile home and need a 'trailer kit' to get the appropriate contact information from the Front Desk), and talk to the nice person there about getting some 1" plastic line - this isn't quite as stiff/tough as Sch. 40, but it's much heavier, much thicker walled. (HDPE vs. PVC)

'Course, this depends on having a) the genital fortitude to use such a beast, and b) the upper body strength to wing it around.

And you can launch potatoes out of it too.

in all actuality, HDPE thickwall is less suitable for spudgunning than sch 40 PVC, it's tested for a much lower pressure.


which is why my gun doesn't weigh 2-3x and isn't black with yellow stripes.
