So im playing around with rocketry for shoulder launched applications and was wondering if anyone had ever built a slbm (without the sub) or icbm scale rocket launcher? i figured itd be cool to create a scale model of such for "scientific" purposes. Any ideas folks?

I think it requires a permit with the FAA, and requires a different form from the ATF (more of a fireworks license than a firearm license)
if you want to test this idea, use thick lead pipe and stand at least 50 feet away
make sure your welds are good

Its required for high power rocketry but these will not be going that high because of how heavy the missile will be and the thrust to weight ratio of the booster or boosters.
You can make small fireworks for personal use i believe without such idk ive just been binging on youtube videos and such.
>scale SLBM down
>get shoulder launched ballistic missile

I will be testing this way at first until i finish my shoulder launcher which will be steel encased in thick pvc also ill find some kind of skirt to put between the two incase of catastrophic failure. Also este rocket motors arnt known for exploding lol

I love it. This would need to be it though lol
To be clear im working on 2 projects.
1. Shoulder launcher for somewhat predictable rockets.
2. Scaled down icbm or slbm launch site.

you're working on jack shit nigger, like all the other 'builders' on here

Youre right i have no materials at this moment ive only got designs right now but im trying to learn a bit about the subject with /k/'s untapped rocketry aspect

> if anyone had ever built a slbm (without the sub)
People have made working scale model boomer subs with working "missiles".

Ah yes i have seen this. This will be for land launch purposes only lol. So heres a crazy idea. If youve ever walked nto a walmart or such they have pic related over concrete bollards. These are the plaatic sleves that would make a great body with lots of room for stuff.
Also what gave me tthe ide for icbm style launching. These are what bollards that block the street goes down into in the ground.
