Well, this is my new gun i just put together. Right now the paint is drying so no damge yet. this gun is fired by an air tank. So this is how it works i have a gallon carry air tank i just tap in a thread for the blow gun and attach the hose from the carry air tank to the gun when i prress the blow gun the pressure goes in and the disk burst. As you can see i have no union yet. I will get that tomro cuase its christmas today and home depot is closed :( .
The barrel is 1.5 inch and 3 feet long
Chamber is also 1.5 inch.
Hope you like my cannon :D

Yea, looks like black on olive green. The dark pic makes it hard to see the cannon. Move the chairs and lean it against the white wall. The pipe is a off white so it will still be easy to see.

Yea, much better. I bet when the disk breaks it's a heck of a commotion goes on! Hows the anticipation waiting for it to go off? Fun fun.

Nice. I see it works a lot like the MBDC. Probably more power though, due to the wider bore and larger porting.

Looks pretty good. What do you use for disks?
