Some cool things to do with 12 grams?

[buzzboy]

Our tech teacher wants us to do that but everyone thinks it'll be stupid... me included. Do they actually do a decent speed?

My tech class did that every year for a while. Quite fun actually. Top speed in my school was like 35 mpg. The professional ones can hit 40-45.

When did ounces turn to gallons. Did I miss some kind of memo?

The rocket cars are very cool. I had the fastest one in wood shop in middle school.

I can't think of anything fun to do with one...

[CONFIRMEDKILL]

i use them for gardening purposes "talk to the plants"

Like by puncturing the co2s to give the plants something to breathe?

yes

helps promote growth.
plants take in co2 and release o2
so when they say talk to the plants...it really works!
using the co2 is like shouting!!! only special plants deserve this much attention

CO2 12 gram cartridges are for use in soda bottles...you know, like in the old movies where people are squirting each other with the soda bottle on top of the bar that they normally use for mixed drinks (Scotch and soda and so forth).

For whippets, you need the 12 gram cartridges that hold nitrous oxide. Those are used in the same bottles, but you would put cream in them for home made whipped cream.

All of these can be found at catering supply stores.

What are some cool things to do with 12 grams? I tried dropping one off a 5 story stairwell just to see what would happen... and nothing

Is there anything cool i can do that is by most accounts, "outside of the legal realm".
I'm getting bored with dorm life, and the twin potato cannons aren't very... discrete. Although I've contemplated putting a 12ie in a spud and shooting a brick wall.

There are "pen" flare launchers out there. You crew in a flare, or a bear banger or whatever to the top, pull the pin down to the bottom and let it go which contacts the bottom of the flare. I think these would work on a 12 gram carterage you just need a way to hold it in place :P A good way to get kicked out of the dorm anyway :P

Using them for target practice is interesting, but you had better be behind a wall, or some other barrier when you do it. They often zing around all crazy-like. Of course, you don't want to use anything too large in caliber, as that will just cause it to burst into pieces, and won't give you the same rocket-like effect. You may try to add fins, if you wish, in order to add a bit of stability. I have never been that ambitious.

The same holds true for air-dusters.

Cut the head off, fill with black powder and bb's. Install a fuse. Light it and hand it to your sister / x-girlfriend.

Wow, THAT'S not stupid. While you're at it, forget the 12 gram, just make a pipe bomb, light it, and give it to someone in political power, cause that seems like a better idea (and for those that can't sense sarcasm, that's what this is, sarcasm).

Wow, THAT'S AWESOME. While you're at it, forget the 12 gram, just make a pipe bomb, light it, and give it to someone in political power, cause that seems like a better idea
