    Well... I just wanted to drain the battery on my M4 (i dont have a batt drain yet) so i fired off a few rounds from my bedroom window at the apple tree in our back garden.

    Let me just say - that was GREAT fun.... who'd have though it could drop all the apples off an apple tree at 20m within a minute or so :D

    Oh God Airsoft LumerJacks :D

    You should try hanging a grape from a branch an shooting it with a pistol from about 10 metres away, not an easy thing to do :D

    another great thing is a tonne of water baloons, and pin them to a fence at differant heights and try pick them off from the kitchen or bedroom window.

    or she could take "tragic" style photos of the apples, lying dead on the grass with their juices bleeding out all over the place

    I've seen entire professional photo galleries based on worst ideas :D
    It would certainly be unique, that's for sure.

    Oh you've seen my work then? You'd be surprised how much I get for that crap when I mark it "modern art" or "abstract photography"

    I wonder if some flour in balloons work as some sort of smoke like
    effect.

    In order for it to mix properly in the air I think you would be very limited in the amount of flour you could put in each balloon, so you would probably need an awful lot of balloons in order to achieve the desired effect, and all those balloons would take up an awful lot of room in your tac-vest.

    Tried it. Tthey blow up but the flower just falls to the ground. There is a slightly better way. Put small bit flower in the bottom of a ballon. Then use the handle of a teaspoon to push another baloon inside the first. Inflate the second insuring the first doesnt slip off. Thumb the flower out into and even covering of the balloon. FAce it in the right direction and fire. works alright.

    If you want to discuss making targets, do not mention things which could be a danger to people.

    I really shouldn't have to be saying things like this and editing posts of people who've been around here a while. Bit more cop on please.
