Wow, that is one great looking cannon! It looks awesome, and it looks like it has a decent amount of power, great job! (also, this topic belongs in the combustion cannon showcase, but I don't think it's a big deal, it can be moved by a mod)

I agree, very nice looking gun. Normally I dislike combustions but you seem to have changed my mind. Again, very nice.

should have put this in the show case a little more detail on it would be nice like the barrel. Also what is the body of the gun. I really like this gun you did a great job for your first cannon. i assume. what ammo are you using too.

the body is just a plastic rifle from the toy shop says its a sig552 on it
but the funny thing is originally it just lit up and vibrated and its stil got a caution must be over 18 written on it.. go figure
mostly use marbles for shots,, its done so you can just drop them down the barrel and they'l roll the the end of the barrel and stay there so you can aim down without them falling back out and on the mag you can store extra marbles in the battery compartment

Very impressive indeed, at first glance it looks like a store bought gun!
I look forward to more projects from yourself :) Fully sick, fully!

Damn that looks sick, the combustion chmaber blends in almost perfectly with the rifle. I'm with nova, I'm looking foreward to you next project.

oooh, I had missed this. One of the most ergonomic combustions I've ever seen, very nicely made - and it adds weight to the argument that toy guns are an excellent and cheap source of body parts for spudguns :)
