My combustion, v1.0, its an accident that the clean out cap threads into a four inch female adapter. Yet it works great and it is similar to the green hornet by boogieman except for the dimensions.

Yeah, the reducer is restrictive (i have seen it fire) but it isn't as bad as you would think. I screw in my tennis ball barrel and it shoots tennis balls out of sight.
