I saw a stomp rocket for sale lately with foam rockets, a bit shorter then I
am installing in my tank.
Video footage of my rocket system can be seen at www.commandojurre.tk
(Click the tank and hit the cowboy on the site, you will find the link to
the mpeg.)
However, I am not sure this is completely legal. I think laws are all about
"shooting projectiles of this-and-that-weight with so-and-so-speed,
pressure bla-di-bla", but at least there is a foam tipped rocket that
absolutely won't harm anything or anyone.
