bazooka

[YankeeDiv26]

for a while i've contimplated making a prop bazooka or even one that fired either nerf rockets, 40mm rounds (i know that the bazooka isnt 40mm) or some other type of same projectile. has anyone ever done this before and if so how. i only want to spend about 200-350 dollars on this thing and probably base it off some pvc type pipe.(getting supplies for this wouldnt be that hard because we own a hardware store) any advice on how to do this

[CharleyNovember]

If you take a look at the RPG7 I built I also have a bazooka built just like it that we have used for WW2 events. When I get some time I will take a picture of it for you.

[YankeeDiv26]

thanks, that would be much appreciated.

I still have that launcher and shell for sale, if you want to use a nerf for it they sell a mad bull shell that shoots a nerf like rocket instead of bbs. PM for info.

here is a link to the RPG. I think you can figure out how to make one. I will get those pics up of the bazooka as soon as I can though.

Let me just say, that RPG-7 shoots far. And looks very good.

You certainly will be able to build a viable and realistic looking Bazooka that operates very well for in the neighborhood of $200.00 or less. If dan doesn't get pictures up of his I'll post my 90mm pictures.

i would love to make a bazooka for 200 bucks! how come most custom guns are like that, i mean a bazooka seems like a harder type of gun

[YankeeDiv26]

yeah a bazooka seems like a good project. im trying to make something with my dad and a bazooka seemed like a good choice because its a crew served weapon. also its fairly crude and simple to get the general design. eventhought i think were not making it out of metal i know how to do some simple welts for cosmetic parts

[101steasykid]

somebody post some bazooka pictures, and like the matural and cost of it

[2nd Bat]

The mechanism and tolerances are just not that hard compared to an AEG or custom gun. A bazooka was frankly just a tube with a simple trigger mechanism and slapped on shoulder staock and mild rail and a couple barrel baffles. If you slide in a ball valve CO mecanism as your round and have your assistant fire it you replicate very accurately the operation and actions of a bazooka team. The other approach is to use an inserted self contained round using the 40mm mosscart grenade rounds as a projectile source. The first design can be extremely powerful and create ranges not unlike a real bazooka (130 yards) with nerf football shaped rockets and the second can produce tamer more scaled ranges of roughly 120 feet.

have made several of the prop ones....the first i made..

fired actual rockets made with D size motors and styrofoam.but then we had 9/11 and the ATF cracked down on anything that even remotely might fire a projectile of any kind.i've made a few prop ones that were converted to co2 use by AAdan....

had to add my favorite baz pic to....lol...


hey 2ndBatt...i did the M18 57mm that uses a 40mm grenade round.doesn't look that great though...

[2nd Bat]

I think your bazooka and your 57mm look fine, Especially your bazooka. What did you use to create the blast basket in the rear and the front baffle? Or did you fabricate them yourself?

[YankeeDiv26]

savoy those are all really nice. yeah im probably going to make mine with the wood stock just because i love the look. if someone could explain or post pics of the firing mechanism than that would really help because im somewhat stalling until i;ve figured out how i want to do it

[savoy6]

the blast attenuator at the rear is done by modifying a 2"to 3" pvc coupler.the muzzle is done with the same item....

[YankeeDiv26]

ok, i read your post on the Florida Airsoft site. (amazing things happen when you google airsoft bazooka). your method seems a lot more effective than the 40mm idea so i think im gonna go with that. if your thinkin about selling it then talk to me but if not detialed plans or instructions when you get the time would be appreciated and may result in a monitary reward : ). thanks a bunch
