Hi,

i have just finished my new spudgun. I called it "Endgegner".
Thats two spudguns fixed together.
It takes a long time to build and to varnish outside and inside.
The spudgun weighs very much so that its hard to hold.

I built a extra big box for transport :D
I doesn´t test it ! I will do that the next time but it will work i´m shure. :wink:

Here are the pictures.

Greetings BB

Wow! That's really nifty. Be sure to document the tests so we can see how well it shoots :wink:

really nice, do you just run air from an air compressor into the takes to vent them?

very nice, the aircraft style sights and twin configuration remind me of the MG81 Zwilling:

Thanks for your comments

Yes thats fe´s we have many different types with or without flat bottoms.
yesterday i thought the same to built a pneumatic but now its too late. :wink:

I doesnt have to vent them because if i fill i open the ball valve and put the gas burner there. The gas burner mix the air/gas and simultaneous blow the old exhaust fumes get blow out throug the tube. That fill/vent process takes 20-30 seconds than one chamber is ready to load and fire.

Shure i will make a video but i dont know when because i haven´t a good location momentary. But at the latest on Silvester ! :wink:

yes or a first WW air craft gun.

why would they make a FE with a round bottom?So you can't set it down without it falling over?

A single barrel like that would have looked plain.
Now you have created a piece of art!

Viel Spass mit Kartoffel-schiessen!
