I used a stun gun because I wanted an electric ignition so I could use the home made trigger on it that I constructed.

Small leak in fitting

My air cannon is already finished and glued (properly) but there is a small leak between the air chamber and the coupler that connects it to the sprinkler valve. The coupler and chamber is 3". Is this not safe to be operating? I stay under 100psi. Is there a way to fix this leak?

Why not just leave the solenoid in with some teflon tape? I just did 5 mins ago, test fired my cannon, and no leaks!

Its ok Carlman, feel free to elaborate on my idea. I have to finish my golf ball gun before I can test out my rounds.

This is the reason I'm going to buy a smaller house and lots of land as soon as I can! So I can go nuts and host fourth of july parties and such.

I live in the suburbs now and have to load my cannons in my little 4 door to launch them somewhere.

Well I mainly shoot at old computer monitors and electronics, so I havent had the chance to test these out.

I'm beginning the design stage for this golf ball launcher, and I will be completing that in a few weeks. THEN I will test!

Little golf ball ammo idea

Nothing much, but decided to post my idea here. I'm trying to get creative with the 800 golf balls that I have to shoot. Since these fit very well in 1.5" SDR-21 pipe, there is still a small amount of space left over. So I wrapped 1 layer of duct tape around 2 balls, then taped them together like th...

Well done, that looks real powerful. I would make a support like the others said to preserve its strength.

Very nice work, i would have named it the "Piece" Maker though. When you say that you shortened the barrel for optimum power, how long was it before? I am of the understanding that a bigger chamber will give MORE power, more noise and less efficiency. Here's what the chamber was going to be in the ...
