Almost finished gun. It fires on ox. and propane. I will post more pictures in the album soon. Shoots through 1/2" plywood with a potato slug from 40 feet. Barrel is 1-1/2 stainless steel.

Nice work, any more pictures?

fred · Mon Sep 17, 2007 11:36 am

Pictures will be posted in the album hopefully tomorrow. I have to convert them to size first. Thanks for the reply. The gun is almost scary.

What grade stainless is it? And is it welded together or bolted? And did you do any lathe work for this?

I do have to thank my friend Frank Kennedy for the insperation to continue with this crazy hobby. His gun is amazing and I wanted to something similar. I,m not sure I want to go supersonic like his.

It is stainless and aluminum. the end caps are bolted aluminum. I will post closeups in the album soon. I also have some unique designs that I will share with everyone soon. I,m new at this posting so I will put it all in the album. Thanks all for replying. I think your all nuts like me for doing these crazy guns. Anyway it is fun.

It being made of steel, you should convert to a hybrid and fire some horrifyingly damaging shots. With a cannon as beautiful as this, I'm assuming it took a lot of time to construct. Why not go for pure, raw power?

(if you do, post damage pics. The guys here tend to love destructed things.)

Why not?

Actually it is a hybrid. 12 lbs. ox and 12lbs propane. Fires every time without purging the chamber. The silly thing is loud also. I have to run now. I will try to post the pictures in the album tomorrow. Thanks for all the nice comments.
