Question:

How much steel and aluminum can a 1000 fps airgun penetrate?

I have a little RC tank that has been sitting in the basement for forever, and I got the idea that I could have a buddy drive it while I plink away at itI have a variety of sheet metal, aluminum and steel that I want to mount on the tank as not to destroy itWhat thickness of both metals would be needed to stop the pellet reliably? I back the metal with cheap craft leather, so denting isn't a problemJust how much is needed to stop the pellet?

Answer:

Crochet is harder to learn, but it goes by fasterKnitting is easier to understand but it can be a little slower than crochetPersonally I prefer knitting because I always need something mindless to do with my handsIn any case, you should buy a simple How-To book on whichever hobby you chooseFor crochet, you will need; -At least one crochet hook; I recommend a US H/8 aluminum hook-A ball of yarn (preferably something over 90 yards.) -A How-To Crochet book For Knitting: -Size 10 straight needles (Super-long ones can be difficult to learn with, so I'd say something no longer than seven inches.) -If you plan on making hats or bags, you'll need size 10 or so circular needlesThese look like two really short knitting needles attached with a plastic loop-A ball of yarn (at least 100 yards) -How-To Knit book Lion Brand Yarn is an excellent, affordable brand to start off with and is carried at most storesTheir yarns are generally soft, bright, and long-lastingIf you go to Michael's, they probably have some on saleGood luck!
