I think Air would be easier to come by in case you needed to refill in a pinch

 

[Westside]

What is it????

The far left is a basic target stand.
the middle is the out and back/surprise attack like HandK had at Pdub training.
The far right is a turning target stand. the Target turns 90 Degrees to limit the amount of time a shooter has to engage the target.

Yeah, but if he gets nitrogen I can use it in my tires when he's not looking.

Cooooool. Nice work Westside.

That's what I am thinking. Right now a bottle of nitrogen is running me about $20. it probably cost me 20 Cents in electricity to refill or portable air tank.

Only if your tires have HVAC fitting on the end of the valve stems.

Only Concern would be a ricochet. The pressure tank and battery will be by the person controlling it behind the firing line.

I modeled the design off of a commercially available system.

I believe those tanks can take a direct hit by almost any kind of bullets without getting a scratch.

They shot at propane tanks in Mythbusters with handguns and shotguns and couldn't get to pierce it.

Those weren't built by Westside though

 

[Westside]

Doing rough math will probably have another 200 to 250 dollars to spend in getting all the controls and what not completed on the turner.

Over half of that amount is just in the timing relay.

 

[magic man]

Did you bring anything home from Snob Creek, V8?

 

[Westside]

Those weren't built by Westside though

AND, that is why I am not building the tanks.

 

[OneBadV8]

Nope, if I would've remembered my C&R license I would've brought back an M1 Carbine. But I forgot it so I didn't buy anything. I didn't take any cash on purpose though because I didn't want to buy anything.

[Westside]

A man must know his limitations. And for some of us that requires a LOT of knowledge.

 

[Westside]

for the tank I will most likely buy one of these and just change the fittings on it.

It does not look like your center bar on the out and back is tall enough! Mine will go out past 90 degrees yours is far less than that!

Yeah I need to shorten the length of the bar the waits go on. No prints to build from I built it big because it is easier to remove material than add it.

And, the way I have it designed will only let it go to 90 degrees maximum

How much was that carbine? I want the rifles my Daddy carried in the war, that is one of them and a Garand, then there is the browning

Browning? like BAR?

I'm trying to find a Carbine because its what my old man had in Basic back in the day.

It was $600, but the stock needed cleaned up pretty bad. It was solid though with no dents or cracks or anything.
