This is my very first cannon. As you can see it looks terrible. I just thought I"d show you all. you can't really see but I've got a grill ignitor on this and I made the mistake of trying to glue it to the inside of the cannon so its kinda like a trigger....the first time I shot it the ignitor blew out. so I fixed it the best i could and put the old fashioned twist flint ignitor in it. it still works. I shot it the other day. I know its a piece of crap but its my first cannon and I just wanted to keep it around. lol

it looks life there are male/female adapters on the barrel, are those for PVC to ABS conversion, breech loading, or interchangeable barrel?

its all PVC. those are just for interchangable barrels. the black part was painted. I had a black barrel for it but it got broke.
