im made this gun a week back and just got around to building my chamber fan. it is the simplest design (and cheapest) i could find. it shoots especially well with the new chamber fan. 3" chamber and 2" barrel. i added a detachable pringles can to the end so i could shoot tennis balls it works better than i thought!

I like the paint job. I want to try the pringles can at the end, that sounds fun.

you have to cut a hole on the bottem of the can slightly under size it scraches the paint but it fun
