ESB snowtrooper E-web cannon, working now - new video from CV!

[hyperdyne]

Finally put the finishing touches on this beast. The gun was built by a buddy in our local garrison here, he did a great job on it. Once I got my hands on it I have been working feverishly for the past couple months designing interactive electronics. I finally completed the electronics, lights, sounds, etc for it.

It is loud! The ammo box is filled with all sorts of goodies. I was trying it out and a neighbor from a block away came over and complained. :confused I didnt tell him I only had the volume at 3. :lol

Here is a test movie. It only shows a couple of the features before I had to turn it off.

If you are going to C5, it should be displayed in the R2 builders room. Any RPFers come on by and ask for me, I will let you fire it off!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! It's been a long project, glad its finally completed. I will try and get some more movies up of the other features of the cannon. Right now I have to pack it up for transport to C5.

Here is a snippet of us taking the E-web into the CV exhibit hall. Snowies hauled it around to several places, just like in ESB, and started having fun.

It's amazing how a ring of people forms around you in a matter of seconds. It was cool!

Holy s***, that rocks. Now I will never be satisfied until I can get sound and light into all my repros.

What a gift you gave everyone visually.

Cheers

Yeah, George shot Jet with the e-web. It was pretty funny!

And Ben said he wanted one to mount on the top of his explorer. I talked with him later and he again mentioned that he wanted one of those. Who knows, maybe a custom build is in order!

Yeah you could use a surfboard or ski rack so you don't have to drill holes in the roof.
