As a proud brit myself I have found it very difficult to find a site where you can buy components to make cannons, but the other day one of my freinds who is also a fellow spudGunner told me about this site:

Http://www.cityirrigation.co.uk.

its an exellent site where you can order the complete parts to make a decent sized combustion or even a r simple pneumatic cannon for a little under 30 quid.
Ive orderd some parts to make a new combustion which cost me just 17 quid!!!!

But if you live outside of the mainland of britain they wont ship your parts

good find, even a2" sprinkler valve is not that pricey for those looking to make a big pneumatic. Also these are worth looking at for an autocannon project, either as a main valve or as a pilot.

Would you be able to use one of those union ball valves in a pneumatic.

Not quite the same range as hendersons, but at a glance the prices seem good. Good find :)
