- Here's how to take everyday sprinkler parts and convert them into a portable, hand-held rocket launcher! It's cheap to make, easy to use, and will send a paper rocket over 300 feet!!
Because of multiple requests for rocket launcher build plans, I spent 3 days putting together a detailed 12 page packet with instructions, part lists, SKU#'s, pictures, schematics, expanded view diagrams, and assembly instructions. I'm selling for $20 to help compensate for my time. You can buy them here if you're interested: bit.ly/RocketRifleParts

Project Inspired By:
A friend in a previous neighborhood who had built a ground based launcher for shooting foam and paper rockets.
Project History & More Info:
For this project, I've based my design on the style of an AK-47 assault rifle.
The parts are basically the same as what I used in my Candy Cannon project, but assembled slightly differently.
The system is charged to 135 PSI and includes a manual ball-valve that can be closed, trapping the air in the chambers so the air hose can be disconnected and the unit can go portable. I've been able to get 3 shots off before having to recharge, however each successive shot is less powerful.
When the trigger (momentary switch) is pushed, the 9 volt battery sends a current to the sprinkler valve allowing it to open and release the air. The blast of air is powerful enough to send these rockets out of sight.

Looks more like an anti-tank rifle, now all we need is HEAT ammo
ThePoopMaster01 HESH would be easier to make to some degree.
Ethan Lossner nah, you need special materials for hesh, for heat you just need а funnel

Masked Lapis -__- I created this account just so that my subscribers don't see all my comments, reply to them and just flood the video. Like, I leave a comment, and then everybody's like "ERMAHGEWD ITS DANNY BLAHBLAHBLAH" and it just looks like I'm self-advertising. Also, how would you prove me wrong? Just curious.
the funiest of these type of video's is that everybody want to make it but nobody does ;/
I made it :/
Cookie!!!!!
FOH? What does that mean?
I always do but you mean most people
i made it and improved it with larger air barrels
Who else watches these but never makes any of this

Thanks for asking! It's just a valve-stem you can get at an auto parts store.
Great idea. I've thought about that and it would be a really easy conversion. My only concern is that if the pressure built up too much, you could end up making a dry ice bomb without realizing it.
Some quick links to a few of the materials I used:
[✓] 1” Sprinkler valve: amzn.to/2cuh4ce
[✓] Momentary switch: amzn.to/2clzVX2
[✓] Tubeless tire valve stem: amzn.to/2cq4goO
[✓] Camo spray paint: amzn.to/2cq3YhH
[✓] Vinyl tubing: amzn.to/2cukpI1

Hi
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random"
Do you sell these?
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" which vales are which? like what are the names
I miss this type of content, more DIY stuff, and I miss you man
Thanks for your concern. This PVC is schedule 40 and is pressure rated to 400 PSI. The valve would fail at 150PSI before the gun ever blew up .. unless you made bad connections, in which case it would be a defect in assembly. Be safe :)
He makes it look so easy.
Love this. Might be the best one yet
dude your inventions are awesome and amazing. i hope you keep making cool stuff
Thank you very much! Most of my projects are founded on inspiration I get from others, and then I put my own experience and ideas into it :) It takes 3-4 solid days to make a video once I've got the concept of how I want it to go. Thanks for asking!
I let my 8 year old cousin watch this, she cracked up every time he said nipples
Lol
haha
going to make this with my son and his friends on his birthday - thanks for the great ideas!!
Excellent videos Grant! You demonstrate a skill that is sadly lacking in at least 70% of all YT postings: Skills like Planning, scripting, clear speech, absence of distracting background noises (like wind noise!).
this works great it would have been more helpful to have a parts list i modified the barrel to shoot snowballs for the winter
If I can rig this to shoot nerf darts, I will DOMINATE at nerf wars
Using the ideas in this video I built a rocket launcher for a science project. Instead of using a sprinkler valve to launch it, I just used another ball valve on the barrel. I love your videos. Keep it up.
Your the best out of all of people who make stuff I watch
this vid is cool but I would like to say that the ad before this was about grammarly.com or something and she said "It catches more errors than Microsoft Word" and she was using a mac lol
+minecraftdogeofawesomeness but office for mac exists
I've got MS Office for mac
i know it exists but do ya get it!?
minecraftdogeofawesomeness i geddit but still
+Glacy I didn't know you liked Linux.
In his redneak world he can fix anything with hot glue
If it moves and its not supposed to, use duck tape. If it doesn't move and its supposed to, use WD-40.
Blake Whitner Also, in an emergency, zip ties can be used in place of duct tape.

Well, no, it's not really an insult at all. You shouldn't be offended by people joking about stereotypes.
Jonathan Wever I really didn't intend to offend you by that. I am sympathetic to the plight. Hell I am only going off your profile pic being a fox. You might not have anything to do with the community.
Your the best at makeing everything
Things to remember when building this: paint a brightly colored tip so that police know it's only a toy and not a real ak-47.
At least if you live in America.
it looks nothing like a gun
still just in case
***** lol
Grant Thompson can you send me a list of the parts needed for this project.If you can Thank you so much. P.S YOUR THE BEST!!!!
Dude you are a genius. I really enjoy all of your videos!
I just realized how alike this is to the "How it's made" Tv show. Except this stuff doesn't require a factory and it also makes good improvised torture tools.
XxlildramaxX lol
3:15 he said nipples. heh
My thoughts exactly :D
+Private Pecker pervert
XD
Since a lawn sprinkler solenoid valve is not direct driven I was surprised to see it worked in this service.
Fun project.
Excellent stuff!
hmmmm maybe you should make a vid on how to make hand powered rocket laucher(its weaker yes) you know coz many of us wont have access to these materials and parts
what items are needed for this project. please list them. can?
when i got all the parts with my brother and built it my father thought i was crazy but then he loved it when he fired it mine is the same style as yours and i even made the paper rocket love your videos please make more of these
Awesome tutorial video and thanks for sharing
all you gotta do is add impact explosives to the front of the rocket
this is the kind of thing I USED to watch HouseholdHacker for.
Me too
Thats sweet! Cool video!
Your videos are awesome!
ok it's cool but i need a list of parts and measures and a construction manual to build it pls
Khatsu Dum He Jewed out and made it 20$
It didn't look like AK-47 instead it look like PTRD-41

I like your videos SO much!
You inspired me to do so much more in my future thanks man R.I.P
This was the first vid of his I whatched
Rip
man your kids are the luckiest in the world.
a father that invents craziest stuff :D
will u adopt me?
aaah damn, I'm 31.
:p xD
this is absolutely awesome!
Simply put, present day Macgyver! You kick ass dude!
great and cool project. though, you forgot to mention every parts and materials needed and also how you properly do it. you're just showing off your cool project. lol
Anyway, it's really great project.
ey man, when the apocalypse comes, im hangin with you, K?

i'm not joking. this is the coolest custom gun ever!!!
Really nice Grant i will try to make on of those :-D Nice video
it's a Carl

You're quite a genius.. Do you make any money off these things.? You could sell the plans..
The design was pretty straight forward u dont really need schematics, 'cmon be creative
Congra(n)ts 7million subs!!!:D
awesome videos, well done!
In my opinion, you should show your viewers projects that are possible to do for most of them. These tools you're using are quiet unlikely to be found in most houses.
A lot of the tools that he uses can be replaced wit more common ones, or just improvised with other tools.
nah, mate, bunnings
i have all the meterials and its so easy to make
***** yep
I made it last week it took about 2 hrs I'm a pipe fitter by trade so it not fair to say its easy but for the average Joe this project is very much possible with tools around the house
How do 113 people NOT like this?!?! O.o
Ok... I'm freaked out here... 113 is my date of birth
Loopy lew And what moth is it exactly that has either 113 days or in what year is there 113 months?
What I do... I just like it without even watching it cuz' Grant Thompson is awesome!
Gun Smoke or you know it could just be the 113 day of the year....
Gun Smoke Maybe he/she means 1-1-03
This guy deserves more subs and likes
Cool and I'm a big fan of your videos
*makes that and brings it to a water park. Shoots everyone with a balloon. Says why did they call the police?* 😂
In which way is that something that looks like an AK
its the general shape of it
Looks like an m2
I dose not
This intro is a happy throwback
i like what you done at the beginning ;)
I like your wife, plz include her more in videos :)
north koreas rocket launcher
lol
Emmeryn damnit they removed it :/
I got an idea. You could add one of those teeny posts on the tip of the rocket, and put a percussion cap on it. So, when it lands, it makes a POW! sound. Like the parachute bombs my friends & I played with as kids.
Brilliant!
he makes it look so easy
"Portable"
ak 47? looks more like an M2 Browning .50 cal
true
Exacly what I was thinking
it only looks like that because of the tripod. He was saying it looked like an AK-47 because the joints where made to look like the mag.
i think u should google ak pictures...
+Critically Chaos still it looks way more like an m2 browning
That sound is like a real gun sound pretty much. You awsome
i swear you are the most awesome YTer ever (you know the kind of ''awesome'' i mean)
Be my dad ;-;
this is both depressing and amusing at the same time...how did you even do that? T_T
Luke Kusanagi;-;
emily collier *gives hug*
;-;
He cant sadly, hes dead
I was wandering can u make me one I know not for free but at least as much is the materials my mom told me yes
Edit: NVM if you can't replicate the video, I probably shouldn't give you an easier way to make one.
Buy the instructions and build it yourself. I did that
The cannon sounds so badass when it fires
I made a list that's specifically for "Future Projects" & I already have 8 vids from this guy!
4:52 Fuk u tre.
Be very careful with this project, PVC pipe is only rated for 15 pounds of pressure. If dropped or if it has a hair line crack it could blow up into fragments that will cause serious injury. Check out plastic pipe made for air pressure, PVC is rated for water.
fundrazr.com/campaigns/1Zs3c
Where the hell do you buy your pvc at? My butthole is rated for more than 15 psi and every stick of pvc I've seen is rated for at least 120psi but most is 300 to 600 psi.
Jared, I'm very happy For your rear end orifice but the figure you quote is for liquid only, I plead with you to look it up before more injuries happen. I am a retired plumbing Inspector with all certifications. Check out the link from Anthony don.
Thomas Wenzler I'm unaware of all the injuries I guess. I have eyes, I can read, any pvc at every hardware store whether it's cpvc, or regular pvc has the pressure rating listed right on it. I dont care what your link says, I dont care what you did for a living pvc or cpvc is both rated for waaaaaaaaaaaay more than 15 psi. period. in every case. dont argue go to the store and read for yourself.
I guess I need to quote the warnings, you can look them up at Charlotte pipe, go to the warning site.
W-4: Use of compressed air or gas in PVC/ ABS / CPVC pipe or fittings can result in explosive failures and cause severe injury or death.
W-5: Do not use for SPUD GUNS, FLAMETHROWERS, or COMPRESSED AIR GUNS. May result in property damage, injury or death. Use only for fluid handling / plumbing applications.
I personally don't care if you build this or not but do so with proper knowledge. This information is available at the manufacturers web site, there is a history of injury and death as a result of ignoring safety practices. I have no problem with building the Rocket Rifle, I might build one myself, just not with PVC.
For the sake of public safety I made this info available, if you build this with PVC, please take proper precautions, it's just not worth the risk.
Sorry if anyone is offended, I am not wanting to argue just be careful.
For more info, go to Charlottepipe.com and read it for yourself.
Happy Hunting
Wonderful Rifle
my new favourite youtuber
Doesn't look anything like an Ak
+ScreamingGoat43 He never said it did. He was basing the design of the launcher off of an assault rifle. Its not supposed to be an ak47 that shoots paper rockets, its supposed to be a regular tube-launched air cannon that is shaped like a rifle, rather than the typical fixed straight PVC tube.
this is not a good tutorial
skítt' í 'ðig
ha?
None of his videos are. It is more entertainment and soft core instructions. But they are good for ideas and you can go to other videos or websites for the real details.
It isn't supposed to be. It is just to get the idea across. The actual instructions for building this are being sold for 20 US dollars by Grant.
You, my friend, would survive the apocalypse lika a boss!
i love these shows
Thats not how you use primer and pvc cement... You apply both at the same time, the primer "melts" the pvc pipe and so when you connect two connections with wet primer and wet cement on both connections, then the two connections "melt" to each other.
If you see this comment PLEASE edit your video, that is a very wrong way on installing a connection.
Except that is how you use primer >.>
You completely clean the PVC surface you are attempting to cement. You apply primer. You wait until it dries, which should take 10-20 seconds or so, then you apply cement and immediately fasten after cement application. You can pretty much prime the entire project before you cement, which is much easier. Although, you also probably shouldn't allow the parts to sit around forever after being primed as the PVC needs to be chemically active in the specific spot you are cementing and rather unfortunately the primer will just continue to diffuse and no longer be "working" where you want it to.
Now for the science behind WHY this is the case. The primer is made of ketones and partially of cyclohexanone. The ketones loosen up the long polymer chains of PVC and softens it via swelling and partially via dissolving, which also makes a rough surface and more surface area. The cyclohexanone acts as a lubricating solvent. The primer is supposed to diffuse through the surface layers of the PVC and make the surface ready for the cement. The cement then takes these now loosely packed polymer chains and dissolves them further with the same ketones and more cyclohexaonone. Once the ketones dissolve what you applied it on, the PVC fractional content of the cement starts to cure alongside the dissolved PVC content. The two parts mix together and , after curing, you now have a fully bonded PVC piece that, in theory if everything was done perfectly, is only ONE solid continuous PVC piece rather than the two or more pieces that you had originally.
The way you describe what is happening makes it sound like you think primer and cement are the two parts of epoxy, which is a VERY wrong way of thinking about how this reaction works. You might as well not even apply primer as you aren't giving it enough time to work its way through the PVC. If the primer is still wet to touch, then the PVC isn't actually chemically "wet" yet as the primer hasn't saturated anything yet.
TL;DR;
You are wrong Robert Karas. He is right. You might want to actually read the instructions next time.
Ryan Claus He stated "purple primer goes on first, and when its dry, apply the cement"
So no, you are wrong.
I know how primer works, which is why stated it "melts" the plastic.
And if your going to be a bitch about your favorite howto builder is wrong on something, then here are some sources. But all I am doing is helping people, so learn how to do it fucktard.

If a inspector sees this the whole jobsite would be restarted. Also my father is a supervisor on the plumbing jobsite.
Uhm wtf? Way to go 180 from your original stance. First you said he is wrong and you do both while still wet now you are quoting him saying he did it right and give links describing exactly what I just said yet say I'm wrong.
Are you mentally stable?
Ryan Claus learn english before starting a debate. I said no where near that, I stated he is wrong and you are wrong. If you misunderstood then go ask your english teacher
Yakko Warner 1 he called cpvc "high pressure pvc" and 2 he thinks you should wait for the primer to dry first.
Sorry but anyone with half a brain would realize how stupid he is. I deleted is comments so it is easier for others so read non retarded comments
haha he said nipples :)
Hahaha, yeeeah...
whatever man, i care. if you don't, not my problem.
Nipples!! Lol!

I love this gun so I Will make more of them in different random collar for my friend's at school.
it's amazing what this guy can do and is willing to do but the result is worth it though
my dad's a plumber and when I showed him this we ended up making 6 of them !!! there AMAZING
This is awesome
2.5" schedule 40 is perfect for tennis balls although this particular launcher may not be big enough to launch them 300 feet but a larger air chamber could be used to get great results. I love these types of air cannons.
I've spent the last 3/4 hours watching your videos.
Now I am wondering why you aren't king of the world.
