Please search in the future, spend a few hours going through all the cannons and you will find your answer, if you are willing to spend sometime to help yourself, I will be more then happy to spend some of my time to help you.

Get a steel 3/4 ball valve and mount it onto the chamber of your cannon. You can open the ball valve, spray into it, then close the ball vavle before you shoot. Just make sure you mount the ball valve well, maybe put a bolt on the part of the ball vavle that is inside your chamber to keep it from flying out from the explosion pressure.

You could do that but there are better ways. a simple will help you find them. If you do decide to do this then make sure you bolt it before you shoot or you have one hell of a cap gun on your hands.

Well i'm sorry to say this then, but if you don't have time to read up on and learn more about spudguns and you would prefered to get spoon-fed instead because you are too busy, well you shouldn't be building spudguns at all.
