Golf Ball Launcher

[2B4Him]

My son recently ordered a 'golf ball launcher' for his AR. It was only about $30, and he paid about twice that for some 'super-charged' blanks.
He was very anxious to get his new 'toy' and once he did, I could understand it. That thing is a lot of fun to shoot!
It will launch the heck out of a golf ball - when we point up over trees 80 yards away, the ball is out of sight before we can see it any more!
We wanted to see what it would do when it hit something, so we set up a piece of 1/2" plywood about 30 yards away. I was apprehensive about setting it up - what if the ball deflects up/down/back at us???
But the attached photo shows what it did to the plywood. It continued way out into the field behind it, too.
This is about the best use I've ever found for golf balls!

I was thinking with the way I've been hitting my driver lately I need one, too!

We need hog hunting with golf balls video!

Did the dude here with the cannon/spear thing ever kill a hog with it?

How accurate?
Need to hammer a little piggy in the dome with it and see what happens

I am very interested in what it would do to a porker.
It does lack a bit in accuracy, as the blank does not necessarily hit the ball right in the perfect spot to get it spinning just right. Also, the ball is not real tight in the launcher, so if you point the gun down at all, it may tend to start rolling down prematurely.
We could hit (not every time) the trunk of a two-foot diameter hackberry tree that was about 60 yards away.
We also shot two balls out of it a couple of times. That was interesting! The ball that was 'launched' by the ball that was 'shot' by the blank came out like a knuckle ball, with no spinning action. While the one the blank hit has a definite spin one way or the other.

Patch the golf ball.

That would be entertaining as a home defense gun. Could you imagine the yelp a thief would let out if you popped him in the arse with on of them. I bet you could hear that scream for 9 counties.

I think we need to have a golf tournament with those for the tee shot

Ok, where did he order it at? I might have to get one and try on the pigs. Yes I will video.
