QUOTE: I WANT A STUNGUN ignitor, is it legal for a 15 yo to buy one?
Who cares if its legal, buy it on ebay. hehe
I built a pill bottle one with a bbq igniter attached through the cap. Its a pro! (mixing fuels is a bi***)
Then i made my nice one with clear pvc. Its awesome loading it with propane and firing it! I love the flames.

That is the coolest spud gun i have seen.
I saw some awesome dual chamber guns but i'm wondering how to set up a good ignition system on one of those.[/quote]

wire the ignition so one wire from your ignitor is on a screw from both chambers, then use a piece of wire to go to the 2nd screws on both chambers that will give you a spark in both chambers

Hmm, anyone else hear that? It's the sound of people's jws dropping. If you don't think its worth it to make these devices, then why in the name of GOD did you join? Just so you could spam the forum with worthless bulls**t?

If you noticed, joel typicaly stocks only those components that are hard to get... and clear pvc is hard to get because no-one ever needs it, and hardware stores only carry what people acctualy buy.
<a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/">mcmaster carr</a> carries it, but it's only available in 8' increments. (part number 49035K93)
