2" X 6" chamber and .75" X 48" barrel. .8:1 ratio. Primary ammunition is paintballs, jawbreakers, and wax candles. Has detachable barrel and uses metered propane. Shoots roughly 300 fps (about the speed of a paintball gun).

Wow, sic paintjob! You use stensals (sp) ? what kind on range do you get with paintballs? I like the fan setup, but the blades are a little small. try replacing them with ones from a cheap 1$ fan.

Nice clean design.

Interesting little fan you have there, looks like a propeller. I really like those decals, good job with those. And as for the range question, he said it shoots about as fast as a paintball gun, so I'd estimate range at approximately 150 yards. I'd give decent accuracy out to about 40.

Paintballs are about the same as a paintball gun. They would hurt like hell to get hit by. I figure it shoots faster than a typical paintball gun because it dents the crap out of a piece of wood at a 15 foot range. Don't let the decols fool you, they are not paint.

I knew they weren't paint, but decals can still eb a pain to make look good. And if it's putting dents in wood, it's shooting a heck of a lot faster than a paintball gun, cause I used to shoot mine at a 1 fot square piece of wood in the backyard and it never left any marks.

PPC-600 is the model number, "Alpha" is the name of the gun. It's just a decol I had lying around.

BTW, you stole my name (<a HREF="http://www.markfh11q.net/600.html">see here</A>), but your cannons cooler than that one so I'll let you get away with it. :P

Also, you stole my meter! I need to come by some time and get it back.

Keep working on the diggi camo stencils. I've already got about six square inches of stencil worked out on my computer. 8)

That is one really really really nice gun! I like the little fan you have, does it increase performance on this gun significantly? Also nice and clean, great work!
