Thread: Stalled net gun project

We made or had our nets made. Heavy cordage is all you need. (Para cord would work fine) Squares were around 6x6" and net was around 12 foot square. Tied like a fishing net. Bolts were just bar and had a recess for a common O ring seal we replaced every now and then. Greased every load.

Blanks were varying loads of 308 but a crimp die/tool worked best. (I worked up from around 45 gr of 748 and pretty sure I was over 50 when done) Correctly packing the net is most important. When we lost our crimp die I got one off Robbie Tiffen iirc. He knew where to source one or he gave us his one.

I still have it somewhere. Not keen to lend it to use but you are more than welcome to get it copied if I find it.
Most operators used pliers and wax but not as good as a proper crimp when they are rattling around in the machine.

As Brads says it is best to get someone else to fire it

I had ours running pretty mild loads and still got good throws and distance required but they still rattled your teeth and could ding the door sill of the machine when they threw you back into it
