Submitted for comment, ridicule, and amusement, and yes, it can take more than a few hits from minies before expiring when a wire hit resulted in decapitation.

Is this for round ball only or is shot allowed?
When we're working with the kids, it's round ball or minies. Yes, minies, because we use Civil War muskets as part of our program and I've also designed a 50cal minie to use as a gallery load out of a traditional round ball gun.
 
I got the geometry figured out. I had to move the pivot point between the two and there is a lever acting on the lid. I used a couple screws as "set screws" to preload and balance the lid just at the point of slamming. A hit on the seat now will absolutely slam the lid. Good thing about how this is set up, so long as nobody shoots the pivot, the lid and seat are replaceable.

SO..., somewhere in America ..., an intrepid maker of steel targets is working with some AR500 to make it into a toilet seat shape, with a closing lid and a lever to reset it.... AND to cut out an AR500 pig-head-silhouette to be used as the trigger for dropping the lid....

REMEMBER FOLKS when you see it made of steel, that dave951 came up with the idea, and you saw it here, first!

Is it too late to file for a patent?? Or has the opportunity circled the bowl and went down the drain?
