I'm planning on building a pneumatic golf ball gun, but I'm having an exceptionally hard time finding pressure rated PVC in the Cambridge area. If there are any Canadian spudders here from Ontario, would you know where I could get some, and the required fittings as well? I've looked around at Home D...

Does anyone know where I could purchase a bunsen burner lighter like this?

You could use a butane can for the portable camping stoves. The can doesn't come with a nozzle, but you can use one from a can of cheap hairspray. I use this setup, and I usually get consistent shots almost every time. You'll probably flood the gun a few times when first using it, but once you figur...

Thanks for the correction. I've dissassembled the guns and packed them up as I'm moving to a new house in a few days, but I'll try to explain how it's held. I'm right handed, so I take the gun, and hold the ignition cap with my left hand, so that my thumb is over the button, and butt the rear of the...

I built my suppressed barrels using a method similar to the full length design jackssmirkingrevenge posted earlier. I used a 28" length of 1.5" ABS, and drilled out 8 holes just about 1/2" back from the muzzle. A line of two holes every 90 degrees apart, taking up in all about 1.5" of barrel. I then...

Here is a new combustion gun I designed and built a few days ago. The barrel is a duplicate of my previous gun's barrel. I used a 2" section of pipe from a suppressor casing I scrapped from my previous gun's barrel for the main section of combustion chamber. A 1.25" PVC ball valve is used for ventin...

The one problem I have is that the sparker is in the endcap, which is not the safest of places for it, but then again putting a sparker anywhere inside the cannon is unsafe, and it is much better to drill 2 holes, bolt in some long bolts, and attach the sparker leads to those, so you dont blow your...

Pete, is the ball valve you used made from PVC? I've only been able to find PVC ball valves at my Home Depot. Are ABS ball balves available?

Here is my first attempt at a spud gun. It uses a 3" Y pipe, 3" to 1.5" bushings and a 1.5" barrel. The barrel is suppressed, with a 2" pipe for the suppressor casing. The barrel is 28" long in all, but the effective length is 25" because of holes drilled in a 3" section of the pipe up front near th...

I installed a 1.5" ball valve on my combustion gun. All I needed was a male 1.5" male adapter that I cemented into the 3" to 1.5" bushing on the back of the combustion chamber. I then just screwed the ball valve onto the protruding threads.

I've got a 3' length of 1.5" pipe and it feels pretty hefty, i'd say the pipe thickness is about 4mm and the pipe itself weighs in at about 2.5lbs. And I just checked the cut of the pipe and there is no difference between the outer material and inner material.

I'm a noob who's bought some parts for a combustion gun I'm going to build, and they are DWV ABS. They seem to be solid wall, but it's not indicated on the piping, it only says it's DWV. Are there any printed labels that indicated whether the ABS is cellular core or not? I'd like to know so that I c...
