I'm working on a plan set for it.Might be a little while though.I've got work and school(finals) to get done first.But look at the pics and see what you can figure out and the rest just ask.I don't mind at all.

so the friction between the barrel and sealing face is what locks it in place, or is there something else?(thought i may ask after the thread was already revived)

So, you drag up a dead topic only to say it reminds you of something that doesn’t exist? :roll:
I believe you mean the M79, I ain’t never heard of a M147. :wink:



The Unit, there’s a modified coupler on the breach end of the barrel that “clips” the barrel to the breach. :wink:

Bah, no big deal about nomenclature, the problem was dragging up a dead thread only to say, in essence, “that’s cool”.

Next time just Google it before you post it; that’s a good rule of thumb for anything. ;)

Oh, and check the date on the previous post, if it’s more than a month, the threads half dead and should only be revived with something 100% on topic and logical.

If it’s more than 3 months, well, it’s dead, and reviving the dead can get you in trouble; if everyone went around bring back dead topics we’d have an army of the living dead on our hands; which is bad. :D

You are some of the last people to make air cannons just for paintball in mind. I hear that they are starting to ban these cannons all over the US, and I'm starting to get worried about my 'creative' genius being outlawed. Where do you go for your big games?

I know what you mean, all this movement to ban cannon, yet they encourage guns like the A5 double T gatlin or other Hammer weapons which are as capable at putting down 30 paintballs in a second as a cannon…

I believe the biggest problem is actually the use of improper building materials, PVC is an all too common and all to dangerous pressure vessel…

But either way, all they have to do is set up some safety standards that all cannon must meet…
But that’s to much work. :roll:



As for what big games allow cannon… I can’t help you there as I don’t know…
You’ll have to ask Socoj2 or Grumpy, one of them might know…
