Finally got around to finishing my first metered propane combustion cannon this week. Test fired it and it seems good, shoots a tater right through plywood at about 25'. The only thing weird I noticed is that liquid propane flows out in to the regulator as soon as the unit is turned in the firing position. Not sure if this is an issue or not. This weekend I will test fire at long range, super excited. The 3" pvc section on the chamber is 12" long for refrence.
Specs include:
98.95 c.i. chamber
54" X 1.5 i.d. spud cutting barrel
45kv stun gun ign.
Dual spark gaps .250 each
6" meter pipe
pressure regulator
60mm chamber fan
home brew tank mount
-6 braided line from Summit Racing
8AA and 2 9 Volts located inside the capped section of the handle
ignition source is located in the front section and the two white leads are the supply for the spark strip (50kv safe lead wire from work)

I should have taken photos during construction so the spark strip and inside of the chamber would be included in the photos. Questions, Comments, or suggestions would be greatley appreciated.

changing the orientation of the propane tank should help with this...

The meter and the integration of the electronics is amazing, where'd you get that braided hose, it looks amazing.

I'm not a huge fan of the handle, I lean towards more stream-lined launchers, but if it is ergonomic and you like the look then keep it.

Very neatly made for a first effort, awaiting your damage pictures/videos

sorry, I didn't realize summit racing was a store, I assumed it was the brand
