Re: [AFMUG] OT new project
It's hard to imagine something to match the combination of sharp loudness and convenience of a pistol. If you need it louder you might have to just get a bigger pistol. I seem to think they use 12 gauge blanks for sounding underground objects. Similar problem with similar solution.

Re: [AFMUG] OT new project
Not doing a tone. Just one loud pop. I did think of the bose, but not sure how loud of an impulse it might do. We will shoot a pistol with a blank down the pipe tomorrow and see what happens. I can attenuate the pistol in steps to see how much we really need.
