SpudFiles

Ok, so after almost a year of not visiting this site, I have made my return.

over the past year, I was finishing up High school, and all my spare time was spent working. Now summer is here, im free from school, and I am back!!

On topic now, I decided to make my return in the form of my very first ever combustion cannon. This being my first combustion, but not first cannon, I decided to make it a little spiffy, but still pretty basic.

It has a 1 foot by 2" clear PVC chamber.
It is fueled by aerosol, and ignited by a grill sparker.
The barrel is 2.5 feet by 1.25"

Tomorrow I will be shooting it for the first time, as the glue just finished curing this afternoon.

I will have some action shots tomorrow, but for now, here is what I have.

1.25" barrel...what are you planning on using for ammo.

It's kind of an odd bird, what with an expensive clear combustion chamber for a rather plain gun. You don't see many spray n pray over and unders.

It will be fun shooting at night...

Was that clear pvc a spare part drom something else? Plane jane cannon, but it'll still shoot a spud. Nice and clean.

Some night pictures of the chamber would be pretty cool...

C sized batteries fit oh so perfectly.

yeah, I still have about 3 feet of it left from using it between this and my automatic bbgun.

I'm using this cannon as a start into the combustion field. so im just trying to get my bearings before i go bigger, and more advanced.

Sick chamber. Me likey

nice and sleek, have you shot it NOW then?

cool, i have one that I made one a month ago that looks very similar, although it's 8 feet long

Thanks yall!

Yeah, I just got back from shooting it, using small limes as the primary ammo, and some generic spray deodorant as the fuel.

Today is payday, so I plan on ordering some large diameter clear PVC. Heads up for a future cannon!

I was getting shots ranging from 100-150 yards out of this little beast!! (measured using distance wheel) It suprised me at how powerful a combustion gun can be!

Welcome back redneck! I love a clear chamber combustion cannon..... I say 2 limes with a big ass glow stick holding them together, dumbbell ammo that glows in the dark.

I'm surprised nobody said anything about the elbows, that being said please don't, no parroting. Do you have a video camra? Sgort87 put up some nice night time video's/pictures of a combustion with a clear chamber. Some new would be nice.

looks good. I'm lovin the clear chamber.

btw, congrats on 3000 jrrdw

jrrdw- Thanks! Its good to be back. Im liking that ammo idea, I think I know what Im going to do on the fourth since they arent even selling the good fireworks here this year. damn burn bans.

Yes, I do have a video camera, and the videos will be shot tonight and then posted shortly after.

STHRONE- Thanks man, I was pretty happy to find my clear pvc pipe after it being missing for around 2 months, so I put it to use!
