    That's exactly why I am asking this question. They will be fired electronically from a safe distance. Does schedule 40 PVC hold up to the lighter lift charges used with small comets?

    fusing "slices"

    I would like 7 mortars in a rack to fire simultaneously, without using 7 e-matches, similar to how dominator "slices" work. The idea is to have 7 2" comets or mines fire at the same time. Anyone here...

    If you are still interested, I have a reprogramer that I bought and never used that I would sell for $75. I'm not computer savy and Scott is not that far away from me.
