Now hold on, do they meet official TASO requirements and specifications? Have they been submitted for inspection and approval by official TASO directors? Anyhow, seriously ... How are they powered and what is the projectile? Would be neat to see true to form artillery in use rather than the usual bb lobbing. ;D

We used a potato gun style law at an OP in Connecticut. It launched a nerf ball rocket about 200 feet or so. It really added a neat dimension and gave our team a distinct advantage when attacking the bunker. If we succeeded in getting the "rocket" into a window it killed everyone inside and we were able to leisurely walk up and occupy the bunker. That tactic worked several times and we gained the most points for the longest occupations.

what did you use to launch it? keep in mind that no flame will be allowed on the field. dave

As I mentioned above, it was a potato gun launching a nerf ball. As for the propellant, I'm not sure what it was. So yes it was dependent on flame. An we know how your field reacts to flame. Where we were with 18 inches of snow on the ground 19 degrees and active flurries/rain, open flame wasn't too much of a big deal.
