my dad knows, and he prefers it over sitting around on an Xbox all day.

however, he doesnt like me shooting marbles, and he didnt let me build my massive pneumatic. but ive found a way around that, make a medium cannon, with a good valve, and charge it to really high pressures.

he doesnt like combustion, and neither do I.
There are rules, and then there are hundred dollar bills.

my dad doesn't care, I just must use safety precautions/procedures.
my mom thinks it's pretty cool, and my grandpa likes it.

and If I needed to hide it, I'd have a problem on my hands. :lol:

that sounds just like my dad!! :lol: when i built my first combustion i would ask him about ideas i had while i was building he just said "you know just as much as i do about this stuff so im sure what ever you do will be just fine"

finaly i finish and i shoot it and i hear BOOM HAHAhaahHAhaAHa and i look at my dad and he is laughing hystaricly

i dont think i have to hide anything from him but i might be kind of hard when i ask him this summer to drive me to lowes to get a bunch of pvc and stuff for a big cannon. im afraid he'll say "whats wrong with your old one?'' but im gonna try

I am mainly afriad of the "do you really need MORE power?!?!" response from my dad

My mom will take me to lowes without question as long as I have enough money.

My firsdt cannon didnt even take purswaying. My friend built one before me so it was easy letting them let me make one.
The only problem is that i was restricted to marshmellows for a while.
Then i found soem marbles and shot those.
My second one did take purswaying.

I have to hide any/all of my airsoft guns; spring pistols or strafers, it doesn't matter. When people want blocks, I have to tell my parents that it's a special part and for some reason the person came to me about it.
