Default [Eng] Magazine shoots handhelds through boards, much to our amusement
Quote:
As you know, there's one thing we love more than gadgets -- wanton destruction. Combine the two (on someone else's dime, o'course) and we're having a pretty good day. That said, we're glad that there are others out there with our bent, including Amusement, a "gaming lifestyle" mag based en France. Apparently, the theme of the current issue is "computer bugs," with a number of articles illustrated in a clever, artistic, Gallic manner. But that's not what caught our eye -- no, we were into the pictures of handheld game consoles (specifically, a Nintendo DS and a PSP Go) being shot through particle board. Feel free to peep some more action photography after the break -- and we'll just go back to working on our coilgun.

As a member of OCN I find this article interesting, yet I have not seen this article posted here, therefore this is news to me.

EDIT: Thanks for sharing, Mike.

The edge that hits, thickness of paint/wallpaper, and how close you got to a stud will all effect if it goes thru or not.

Don't forget the type of phone. A trendy phone(Razr, Krazr, iPhone, etc etc) won't do quite as much damage as a brick like my EnV-2.
