how to make a homemade rocket launcher:
get a bottle rocket and a 2 foot long pvc pipe. drill a hole so the fuse can stick out of the pipe. then tape the fuse down. insert the rocket in the pipe. then tape some tin foil down to the back of the pipe to keep the thrust from burning your shoulder. then light it. fire it from your shoulder. the rocket will fly forward then explode( or whatever your rocket of choice does).

Feb 22, 2006 8:23 am - Yup The rocket needs a minimum of 3 fins, 4 would be recommended, because it is not coming back so it doesnt need to be super accurate, u just want height.
Mar 04, 2007 6:54 am - i did this with a 4-5 foot long pipe and a blast plate hot glued to the end, and i used model rocket engines w/homemade rockets, i had some fun with it and still doo the 2 foot sounds dangerous tho, the fire could hit your face when the rocket comes out the end, ill give a 5 tho
