<div align="center">LITTLE BANG
Provided By - Big Bang
The spudgun featured here is the one I call "Little Bang." It has an approximately 1500ml chamber and a 46.5" long 1" diameter double walled barrel. The C:B ratio is about 2.35:1. Despite its name, it is really loud. As with BigBang III the construction of the chamber is completely double walled.
Little bang is a breachloader and has a little 12V chamber fan that I run by use of a 9V battery applied across the fan leads. The most interesting part of Little Bang is its ignition system. It features a 20 foot dual ignition wired remote control. I call the ignition system my "universal" ignition system because I plan to use it on future guns. The heart of the ignition system is an electronic gas grill ignitor module that I purchased from Sears for $16.95 + S&H. After some modest rewiring it provides two 5mm arcs in the chamber - one of which you can see in one of the attached pictures. The remote ignition connects to the gun via two "spark plugs" which I manufactured myself.
Lastly, as with all my guns, fueling is all off board. I have included pictures of the fuel meters for Little Bang and BigBang III for comparison.
I have also included a picture of the two guns side by side for comparison.
In this picture you can also see the bipods I've made for each gun, and the stand I use to stabilize BigBang III and keep it from tipping over.
BTW, the orange and maroon color scheme for Little Bang was chosen because I'm a Hokie! That means I went to Va Tech. Of course, the paint on both guns is Krylon Fusion - nothing but the best!

Yes, I am the guy that owns & operates SpudFiles (along with our extremely helpful moderators).
Real nice, You should make them have interchangable barrels, so you could have burst disks, and make them LOUDER
I love the metering systems, real nice, I like how the copper is polished and the metering tube is red. 8)
