Chicken Gun

by dh in

sometimes it does take a rocket scientist!!

(true story)

scientists at roll royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, and military jets, all travelling at maximum velocity.

I know for a fact that this done. My wife ran a copy shop here in Birmingham, England. A guy came in an asked her to copy some photos of aircraft windshields which had been hit with rocket fired chickens (dead ones). He worked at Triplex, here in Birmingham. They are better known for the toughened glass in cars.

I wonder if the launcher was battery operated ? Sorry, it was the best I could do this time of night. :)

sheboygan, wis. (jan. 5) - a 7-year-old boy had to be rescued with the help of a locksmith saturday after crawling into a supermarket's stuffed animal game machine while his father talked on the telephone.jeffrey roland debbink.

"he was sitting right in there with the stuffed animals," said shift commander mark zittel of the sheboygan fire department.. he said the boy, whose name was not released because he is a minor, crawled through about an 8-inch-by-10-inch opening to get into the glass enclosure via a chute where the toys come out, but when he tried to get back out his way was blocked.. the stuffed animals are prizes that can be hooked by players with a crane-like device.. "his dad was three feet away at a pay phone," zittel said.
