spudgun mod

I am currently working on a spudgun mod for all sunroof equipped rx-7's. here are the details.

I will be using one of the guns from www.xinventions.com, probably the PAC 6 ( http://www.xinventions.com/main/spud/pac6.htm ) to make it easier to drive and fire at the same time. This mod is intended to ease driving driving conditions by eliminating those terrible sunday drivers (hey, there's only room for ONE and that's ME!). disadvantages include increased weight and unbalanced distribution. Who cares though when you can just put a hole through the other guy's radiator?

right now I only have ideas, I should have some stuff roughed out by the weekend though.


but this summer watch out...

so what do you guys think about this mod?

(seriously though, for just a "show" car this would be awesome!!! mobile SPUD unit!)

I am sure it could be made to shoot eggs, especially boiled ones. just put a sock in first.

well, you can **** me off till summer time. I might do it rear mount so that it doesn't throw weight balance off as much. then you can also keep it full length, AND have it remain in mostly its original form. to get it to fit in the sunroof will require a lot of modification to both the sunroof and the gun. the biggest disadvantage to having it in the back though is that you have to stop the car before you can shoot it. Unless you want to rig it up "sniper style" of course

These were really popular in Nor Cali about 10 years ago.. then people started loading them up with rocks and shooting them at people.. Now it's a felony to own one...

For when you get tired of launching spuds! Not sure if the FC can handle the weight of this weapon though.

haah that would be some funny ****, not worth the risk putting on a seven. Maybe mount it inside a minivan, then open the side door, boom! My buddies and I were going to do similar in a pickup truck

Are firearms laws that lax in MN? I'm moving there then... unless they have strict smog laws too. AHH! The dilemma! =)
