You have a style, all your own my friend. You are a awesome fabricator and welder to boot.

I don't think anyone has asked yet, how does the gun perform? Do you go for distance or accuracy? My guess would be accuracy since you have the laser.

Hope to see more of your work in the future.

the weight is around 15 pounds, so its pretty heavy compared to pvc, but it not really a problem because you only lift the cannon for around 30 sec to shoot. The extra weight also makes it a bit more stabil when shooting, not so much recyl (or what you call it).

The gun performs perfect. I have not yet tested the max distance, but it is far enough for me :) I think the most funny thing is to shoot at things at around 10 meters distance an smash it. With frozen oranges it makes great damage on pretty much everything. Makes huge nice round holes. :D The laser help a lot..

I am new, and I've looked all over the internet to see how to build my spudgun and yours just put mine to shame. (still putting it together not much time, Work sucks)
Any way that gun is the wildest thing I've seen ever thought of making it a hybrid. You can probley use a stun gun with a spark plug or an insalated spark strip.
(closest to the wall of the gun of corse still learning though) but Sweeeet gun!!!!!
