"Special orc artillery invention" Topic

The physics is flawed, but.. hey… this is an orc invention

Love it! My only suggestion is that the launching-orc up on the tower should have a fairly hefty boulder tied to his back, to give him extra weight when he jumps off the platform so as to propel the gorilla farther…

Looks suitably "Orcy" to me Waaaarrrrgggghhhh. Only need the added rock when shooting long distances, can use smaller ones to range in the weapon.

👍

Ah. They must have the full Acme catalog.
Meep! Meep!

ripped off reddit…

A man wakes up one morning to find a gorilla on his roof

So he looks up the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for #Gorilla Removers#. He calls the number, and the gorilla remover says he#ll be there in 30 minutes.

The gorilla remover arrives and gets out of his van. He#s got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and a huge, ferocious looking dog.

#What are you going to do?#, the homeowner asks.

#I#m going to put up this ladder against the roof, then I#m going to go up there and knock the gorilla off the roof with the bat. When the gorilla falls off, the dog is trained to bite the gorilla#s in the goolies. The gorilla will be subdued enough for me to lock him in the cage in the back of the van.#, says the gorilla remover and hands him the shotgun.

#What's the shotgun for?#, asks the homeowner.

#If the gorilla knocks ME off the roof, shoot the dog.#

Had a specific rule come to mind as in the plank breaks, but same unrecalcitrant simian, and you didn't want a special anyway. ;->=

Fun in a bit of a Rube Goldberg way. Kewl!

Yeah, pretty sure Orcs run on cartoon physics. Have you tried burning a bridge under one to see if he keeps running until he looks down?

Many thanks folks.. love the rock idea… some possible modification may now take place… of course, isn't basic orc perspective that if they THINK it works, then it works?
Thanks again
Lots of fun
