This is my copper pneumatic cannon. It has a 22mm chamber and a 15mm barrel. It was so powerful, but unfortunately had to leave it in england when I moved here to australia where the laws are a lot stricter. Ill try to find some damage pictures on my laptop but everything is scattered everywhere on there so it may take some time.

Nice gun! like the design and stock/chamber. :)
Does it have a ballvalve, or is it for safety or pilot?

Thanks. The valve you can see on the barrel is a ball valve. I really needed to put a safety valve or pilot as it did jam occasionally and it was a huge effort to unjam it without the barrel shooting off!

the scope will move around and wont hold a zero, you could possibly buy some weaver mounts and scope rings and permanantly attatch it somehow ( i think they allow some guns in australia, so weaver mounts shouldnt be hard to find)
