This is my latest work, and quite simply it is one of my favorite cannons built to date.

i love the design, possible one of the best additions ive seen made to a pneumatic, i would like to see what it looks like with the right side showing, since i assume the tank is over there. go to work on your stock with some sand paper, or better yet a dremel, then that thing would be awesome! but the barrel looks more like 1" or maybe even 1.5" when compared to the tape on the table...

Your looking at the silencer, the barrel is inside it.
But yes some more sanding and a little more paint is needed especially on the stock.

Great job with the paint and stock Frank.

How much quieter does the silencer make it?

The difference is subtle but more of dampens and cushions the sound, I still have to try this insulation crap for a filler in the silencer, right now I have it wrapped in rubbery foam with holes in it. But I expect the insulation to work far better

Very cool, looks better than many "snipers" on this site. I like the magazine too, even non-functional it makes it look realistic. My only suggestion would be too soften the lines of the pvc by adding putty or foam to make it blend with the stock a little better, which would reduce the kind of "mounted" look, but would also be kind of hard to pull off. Great job!

At first look it reminded of a MP44 for some reason. Nice work it looks really cool and comfortable to hold!

incase you cant get the insulation... try steel wool... really helps dampening the sound...
