Hey Patrick. I finished my Rocket launcher and it works perfectly. The handle idea is perfect and gives it a real look. No sparks in the face or hands cause of my inner pipe design

[@patrickdickinson6492]

thats good, thanks Pat

Patrick Dickinson that’s what makes this video better

[@therantman4120]

Honestly one of, if not, the best homemade rocket launcher ive seen yet. Working on a design of my own. Thanks for the handle idea. Now i dont have to drill the pipe.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Glad it was of use, you'll certainly have a lot of fun with it, thanks Pat

[@therantman4120]

I made my own mortar launcher, check it out m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmW3Yp53YqmLmLc Fully functional and safe

[@therantman4120]

Its not finished yet but check it out so far. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl6boGZ9m6ehaNE

[@kingcompany]

If I may make a suggestion... you could use a hinge system so that you don’t have to light and then load. Cut it about halfway down. Rectangular. Drill and attach hinges and latch. Insert a piece of wood with a hole centered and glue or secure with screws. Then tap another hole in the door for fuse. More work but easier and safer to load for ya.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yep sounds a good mod, lighting the rocket first was always a bit dodgy, thanks Pat

[@lee-in9wc]

North Korea here we come!!!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yeah I do have plans for a 4 barrel car roof mounted model, so North Korea beware !!!

[@snom21-77]

Can’t use a non military made weapon in war plus if the weapon isn’t registered by the government or military you can’t even use it yourself so North Korea don’t be worried but just beware because we are still gonna kick yer ass 😈

you should have tested the rockets out on north korea

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yeah my thoughts exactly, Pat

[@snom21-77]

sego you can’t use a civilian made weapon in war unless the military bought the weapon or the weapon is registered by the owner but he registered it and plus the rocket launcher is all hand made and made of tape and rubber so the military cannot use it at all government didn’t even buy it !

+nuclearwolf616 Hi there the rockets I used were made by Brightstar fireworks , they were called Warhawk about 1 meter long the main rocket being 200mm x 50 mm Dia. They were about the largest I could find that would comfortably fit in the rocket launcher. Anything bigger was very expensive and may get stuck in the tube. Glad you enjoyed video thanks Pat

What type of rockets were you using? And what was on the back of the pipe to prevent it from falling out but still allowing it to vent off

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Ricky, they were standard firework rockets, although big and around 50mm in diameter, to stop the rocket falling out I put a small bolt through the end pipe to form a ledge to stop the rocket falling blackout, but so you could push it in then when held back by bolt, you could then light the fuse……..hope helpful Pat
