"but better golf balls than actual bullets"

If that thing won't put your eye out or anyone possibly out of their misery I don't know what will. Can you say . . . silencer on Steroids! WTF!

Yeah... this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

first!

Guns and golf. Add beer and let the games begin.

Sorry, but this is just too good of an opportunity trinket to plot evil golf course shenanigans. There's nothing I'd like more than to bombard old man golfers with counterfeit Titleist balls. Of course, it's always classier if you do it the skillful way with a putter of your own.

Yeah, but can it do a perfect slice?

@cave12man:
Typing "first!" is a bannable offense. For typing "first!" and not being first your punishment is death.

@Curves:
Long range beer pong commence...NOW!

My game just became exponentially better. Looks good for home security as well.

@cave12man: It's funny to watch others get dumped with banhammers fresh off the Fail truck.

I'm about to become an avid golfer. Beer, Assault Golf-rifles... All that's missing is a mobile Hold 'Em table with a topless dealer. Mmmm, I'm going to have sweet dreams tonight.

I'm envisioning someone with a whole golf bag full of these; "Whatdya think Bob, should I use the 9mm wood for this hole, or do you think the .45 iron is a better choice? I'll pull out the .22 wedge when I get within chipping range..."

@weatherman: Skeet and golf make a perfect combination.

FORE!!!!

@cave12man: your a douche

...my friends and i could have used these ball launchers yesterday when we were at the golf course.

This has the word "Bad" written all over it.

@Kaiser-Machead: @Curves: I think that you mystical, magical 'Star Commenter' types should have some level of access to the Ban Hammer. At very least, you should be able to reply to 'First' posts with a post of 'Also your last,' as you drop the hammer on them douchey bags.

Mkay...how do you putt with it??

@HotFootMcCook:

That is the coolest mental image I have had since, well, this morning (FSJ mentioned a polygamous retreat with Gong Li and Scarlett Johansson, but I digress).

I'm picturing a giant Beirut game, tables 20-30 yards apart, multiple tables, everyone with guns that fire ping-pong balls...

Stupid graduation and career.

@macorange:
My understanding is when you get on the green you just load your hopper with golf balls, switch it to automatic mode and hold the trigger until a ball goes in the hole.

@cave12man:
Tell him what he's won, Johnny...

I could see redneck golf taking form because of this

let's see Adam Sandler top that!

well I suppose murder with golf balls is less traceable than bullets - I'm totally going to birdie all my enemies.

I've played "Bow Golf" before. You use a bow and arrow instead of a club and ball. Has to be a closed course though. Once you get to the green you put a styrofoam cup on the cup and shoot that.

This should help cut down on regular golf club homicides.

But does the gun still work as designed or does this mod make it inop? If it can do both - I'm impressed!

"I know what you're thinking. Did he shoot par or am I over by one shot? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a modified 44 Magnum, the most powerful golfball gun in the world, and would blow your drive away, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"

... only a few decades too late...

+ Watch video

I can see the x-ray images of golf balls embedded in human skulls, anal cavities,
eye-sockets...posted online now...

What happens when some idiot uses a live round instead of a blank? OW! "Where's my thumb?!..."

Can you imagine the poor dude that has to hold the flag in the hole?

@ Rabid Penguin: I hope it's a slow, lingering death, with a 300bps modem on a 33MHz 386 PC.

@weatherman: I was totally envisioning the same thing - different calibers/gauge ummm tools for various ranges to the flag. For putting, perhaps some type of variable force gun and you'd have to shoot it along the ground.

I'm reminded of the Avengers episode where a sniper had a gun that shot golfballs so he could kill people at a golf course and it would look like an accident.

It'd be cool if it could run off grandpa's oxygen tank

What better way to send other golfers screaming and calling the cops than firing a semi-automatic weapon on the course.

@Munch: Bad idea. Power corrupts and banhammer power corrupts absolutely. I would not ban anyone anyway. I am way too much about "free speech". I feel everyone should be allowed to make an ass of themselves, as I have a number of times, and likely will again.

Comment on Golf Guns for People with Disabilities or Complete Nutters FYI - An AR-15 is not an automatic rifle. It is a semi-automatic rifle, one shot per pull of the trigger. This model is the civilian version of the military M-16.

It is obvious none of you have ever taken a blind person golfing. As a non golfer, who was coerced to take a group of middle aged blind golfers out for a day. If these would have been available, it would have made the day more enjoyable, and we would have had to lie a lot less to the golfers. Who could not see where their balls were going anyways.

This will not be allowed in Mexico, that's for sure. It will make it too easy to make a hole in Juan.

@Curves: Yeah, but absolute corruption does make for good reading.

Next you'll say that wireless joe johnson was nothing but a modified howitzer.

What's the "tie-box"? Is that the place you get the golf balls at the start of the game? It's usually a big golf ball with a bored teenager in it handing out putters and score cards.

After seeing my friend hit a couple of houses with slices last Saturday, this thing may actually be safer than hitting it with a club (the energy is the same since both can go around 300 yards)

I think he meant tee-box.

I built mine from a piece of steel pipe and a scuba tank in 1957.

Is it just me, or do these look *exactly* like silencers??? If I was a cop and saw you holding one of these, your a$$ would be grass so fast you'd never see it coming.

Of course, you could give one of these to a 'friend' to try and then call the cops on him/her...

Dear Jesus: The AR-15 is not automatic, it is the semi automatic version of the m16, also blanks are not bullets and by definition do not contain bullets.

Dear blue moon: Silencers are actually legal depending upon locality and with some paperwork.

Um, not one comment yet pointing out that, indeed, placing your ball in an air gun and blasting it down the fairway negating the use of a club is not really considered "golf" anymore.

I guess it depends how you define "golf"... Unlike paintball (where the act of using a compressed air gun to shoot your opponent with a hollow, thin membraned spherical projectile filled with opaque liquid could technically be considered "painting") most purists put the emphasis of the term "golfing" on the actual striking of the ball by an object, typically a blunt mass attached to a stick, being swung with some part of our body, and not simply the Newtonian observation of the projectile itself.

Ok Ok. I get it. Instead of golf course, the players play at an urban setting. And instead of golf balls, it shoots balls filled with paint. And instead of shooting it at holes, players use it to shoot each other. And instead of....

@Fierock:

This device is a grenade launcher. It would most certainly be considered as such under many local firearms laws and possibly under Federal law. Not necessarily illegal, but still a regulated weapon. Cup-discharger grenade launchers have been around since World War One, and this is merely a retread of that concept.
