ABS is all i use and all i trust, it just feels "stronger" than PVC to me, and besides where i am i can only get ABS in the sizes i want (PVC comes in 10ft +.) Thats a great 1st gun too, makes mine look like garbage,

ABS can't hold pressure without ripping open eventually. PVC, on the other hand, is actually rated and meant for holding pressure.

yeah I wouldnt trust ABS with a pneumatic,trust it all you want but it will blow up in a pneumatic, who cares if it feels stronger,PVC is pressure rated and thats what matters.

I don't think a price should be put on building any cannon. If you can't afford to build it than don't. There isn't any money saving when it comes to your life or saftey.
