i don't know about that tech cause there is a lot of farms around where im at so i figured they would have them in bulk...lol

This is what confused me tech, i can easily find the valve on the company websites but they didn't have them for in store sale. I even had manager's looking for me in the isle's as well as on there computer's.they all came back the same online purchase only. maybe its a Pennsylvania thing i don't kn...

@ tech, i had to order the 1" valve off the internet cause i couldn't find them in any stores around me. i tried Lowes, home depot and a few others. as for the gauge i had wondered if re doing the chamber so the gauge goes through the end cap and inner PVC would be better but wasn't sure. so far Ive...

here is a few picks of the chamber and valve assembly. i didn't include the barrel cause i made it interchangeable, all my PVC pipes are pressure rated.
My downfall is the end cap, coupling's and other attachments i had to buy didn't say if they where pressure rated or not.

I just built my first Pneumatic gun and i was wondering what are the warning signs if any that i need to be aware of so i don't put to much air pressure in my chamber.

I can agree there. The first thing i thought of when i read it was the old movie a christmas story,,, ( You'll shoot your eye out !!! ). The only reason they try to give us the bad press about spud guns in my opinion is because they dont know how to make one themselves or they are afraid of haveing ...

I read the article about frog boy. The only thing i would love to know is why the hell was he trying to shoot a frog in the first place and why did he look down the barrel after he prepped the gun to shoot. I know i made the mistake when i turned with my gun, the evidence is there in plain sight...l...

Thanks for the tip on the muzzle. i dont think i realized i had the muzzle that low when i moved and i dont think the camera man was payin attention either. I'll definitely make sure i watch how i handle that issue from here on out.

here is the link to my video. i edited out all the boring stuff and basically turned it into a music video with clips of the cannon before and after its paint job. not sure how to upload it here yet...lol

it was late at night and i used what i had at my disposal. What i call creative recycling...lol

these are the mini potato guns i designed and built. All are combustion powered, use a campfire lighter for spark and hairspray for fuel.

thanks. yes it is a kustom shop stencil. all i used on the cannon was spraypaint i bought from dollar general...lol hasnt faded yet. I use hairspray for fuel and im getting a good 200 yards give or take. i have a vid of me and my friends shooting it but i need to edit out all the boring parts before...

this is my first big potato cannon i built. I call it BIG DADDY.
the chamber is 4" PVC that i cut to a 2' length. the barrel is a 4' long piece of 2" PVC screw on adapter (added after pics where taken) so i can remove from the chamber for cleaning and storage.
