Nice contraption.

I rigged up a twist-lock coupler/baffle from a dowel and slotted multiple-ply paper-towel rolls for this made-from-parts-in-the-recycle-bin upscale of the Centuri Excalibur. I found a nose cone from an Amazon in a field and it was a perfect fit for a cardboard tube from wrapping paper and the lower section was made from paper towel rolls. It was kind of too long to transport in the car, so I made the twist-lock/baffle to allow me to take it apart right under the transition, and still pass the ejection charge to pop the nose and chute in the upper section. Not too pretty, but was kind of a prototype made as a proof of concept. I call this 24mm upscale Machete. The 13mm downscale is called Sting. :-)
