<div align="center">PPK

Provided By FoxxLord - <a href="http://www.geocities.com/cain333_2000/" ... 3_2000/</a>

I made the PPK (Put-Put Kannon) right after I made the Punisher, thus they share very similar designs. PPK was basically an experiment on how small I could make a cannon with the parts I had laying around, it's actually pretty Frankenstein if you take a closer look at it.

Never got around to really test firing it, it'll blast a AA battery pretty fast though, that's all I've done with it. Damn I hate living in an apartment.

Here's a side view, I used a cheap Wal Mart ball pump hose clamped to the side. The gun is 1.5&amp;quot; PVC pipe with a .5&amp;quot; coaxial barrel.

A closer look at the handle reveals the PPKs trigger set up. I cut a slot in the 1.5&amp;quot; pipe and stuck a butchered blowgun in it. Of course I had to seal the bottom leg of the Wye with a PVC disk. Unfortunately the trigger setup is pretty awkward, as you can see, it's up side down and a little low on the handle.<br /><br />Also a good picture to see the inlet hose splice and typical lever style Schrader connector. Yeah, pretty ghetto but like I said, I was recycling parts!

Just a shot of the end cap I drilled a hole in for the pneumatic line. The hose leads to the nipple on the plug. If you haven't guessed PPK is a simple diaphragm gun.

This is the back of the gun with the plug removed. Like I said, simple! Looks like the barrel was glued a little crooked, oops!

Lastly is a picture of the &amp;quot;heart&amp;quot; of PPK, the cap was kind of difficult to make. The 1/4&amp;quot; nipple was in the way of the 1/8&amp;quot; Schrader so I had to cut a notch out of the nipple threads. It went together good though with a little JB Weld!<br /><br />The black disk is just 3/16&amp;quot; neoprene.

yea, i love the way it looks also, but how come the air in the chamber does not come out the angled grip? it looks as if you have butchered it...

Umm yeah, it's called gluing and priming it to permanantly seat it in there. I don't think that he used PVC pipe. You need something solid like a PVC rod or disk to make it airtight.

Second what this guy says.^
That is considered to be one of the "simpler" cannons on the forum. If you can't understand how it works, don't build itl.

If I'm not mistaken he sleeved a PVC pipe into the wye, isolating the lower leg of the connector.
