This is my first all metal gun and it is a beast. So far i have only taken it up to 160psi due to the compressors limit but i am looking for a cheap high pressure supply. The air chamber is 1 1/4 galvanized pipe and has a 1/2 copper barrel. Any Questions comments or improvements are welcome!

thats a nice, simple, clean cannon, I'm glad you've gotten a great start. I'll bet its extremely powerful. My only recommendations are that you use a street elbow to connect the chamber to the valve, and that you add a proper grip

Just compactness, it makes the gun look a bit better. But good job it looks like a fun cannon. How long is the barrel?
