Well, I think I'll help... Usually you want the ignitor in a double thick spot... Usually where the chamber is connected to a fitting. I personally put the ignitor in the back so that it will burn forward.

There are truck loads of info on this site. Just do a little searcing. I would start with what materials you want to use then decide on a C:B.

I don't want to sound rude but....

Dont you even ask"what's a C:B"

Just look it up...try the WIKI if all else fails

Perhaps you should have selected a little different ID. Hopefully you won't be a noob for long in the hobby. In any case, welcome to Spudfiles.

No, just proceed with the basic design you know now...you're just launching spuds into the wild blue yonder. It will get cooler when you study the subject a little more and build a more advanced gun.

Keep us posted on your progress.
