Its not a good idea to ask for plans for peoples gun, especially one like this one. Just get a bottle, some pipe and a valve. You can find all the information on the website if you search and use the wiki.

P.S. Nice gun by the way, it looks very cool.

@Spud Yeti, I've shot a gigantic sinker out of a cannon similar to this and the gun bucked about 6 in. But it was a very large sinker, not sure of the size though.
VH was awesome!!

Suure, thats what you say... Joking, I know what your problem is. Its either too flexible and weak, or strong and not flexible! It sucks! Have you though of just using rigid pipe and elbows instead? (might be easier in the end)
Where do you need it for anyways?

Thats a good idea. How do you bend copper without it kinking? Do you heat it with a blow torch?

You get a special tool that you put the pipe into and ya turn it and that bends the pipe without kinking it.
