this is my second combustion that I affectionately named "Attila"

I made this one out of all the scraps that I had left over from my first cannon. I love it though, its got some poke in it. my fav ammo is wadding filled with marble buckshot :twisted:

It wasnt a well thought out project as you can see by the pics ie battery and the c:b is out. I've fixed the battery as that was only temp. to run the fan. Im also going to extend the barrel to bring the ratio back down(i love you spud tool) a bit cos its f#cking loud atm :lol:

I was proud of my trigger mounted into the 2nd handle, it took a little bit of fiddling getting it to fit at first. Last of all I like my paint job makes it personal, Im planning on adding like a couple of tally marks ie like of fighter jets and some sweet skulls should do the trick:)


let me know what you think or if you have any questions:)


The dmg shots were from 15 meters away, I used a mix of starter fluid and MAPP gas.

NSW and Im partial to both actually. I love the loudness and portability of combustions yet the reliablility and power of a pneumatic.

base paint with the fawn then just with a 2.5 " brush kinda mushed the brush at it :lol: with the brown and green

Im from NSW too. I live out of richmond at the base of the Blue Mnts. I love combustions, they are good to impress ppl with. I'll probably love my marble gun too when I get a compressor :P

Nice Cannon! I love the trigger assembly. At first the paint job looked kinda paper-mache to me, but it is a cool affect. "FEAR MY PAPER CANNON OF DEATH111!!ONE11" lol. Nice cannon man.

I like it, nice work, but that's a really funky-looking reducer coming from your chamber.

Thanks man, yeah for some reason the shop only has reducers that are off center, im not sure if it would affect its performance or not.
I get an average distance of 150 meters out off it using ping pong balls filled with sand. My other comb. has one too.

Cool gun,
Maybe some metered propane (if you dont already have it)
and a stun gun iginition?

Im a pnumatic guy (never made a cumbustion in my life)so I really dont know what to comment on other than "cool"

I was thinking about this earlier this morning :o
At the moment I use Nulon "start ya bastard" engine starter. It's 25% dimethyl ether and works pretty well approx 150 meters. But I was pondering whether on board metered propane would be that much better i.e cost v extra distance?

I would definitely like to pimp this cannon out! I'm thinking of putting the laser and tac light on this cannon instead of the marble gun as Attila is hip fired and it would make it a hell of a lot easier to target things.

Well any suggestions from you guys with knowledge of whether it would be worth switching over to metered propane would be much appreciated, I'm about to trawl for some ideas.

Thanks for all the comments :)

(sorry to kick up the topic)
on that reducer that you have, do you know what it was called, like how they name an off center reducer? i really need to get one of these if they have them where i live in pressure rated forms...

p.s. in the future, if i were you, i would flip the reducer upside down, to make the gun more compact.

yeh thanks man, um I live a bit out of Sydney so if you live in Australia then you'll probably find them at the plumbing shop, just make sure you get the pressure rated gear. I needed the space to fit the handles.

This cannon is in bits and pieces now, mostly made the barrel into part of a suppressor and using the internals for a better comb. as this one was made before I really knew much about c:b and so forth, it was still hell powerful though :twisted:
