I have made possibly the biggest sniper spudgun ever. It is so big it needs a shoulder strap to help hold it up. The entire thing ways 8 pounds at 7'6". The barrels are interchangeable with optional Pump Action Breech Loader. Meet The Shell Loaded Sniper.

Plans for the pump can be found here.

Boom o matic its a combustion (submitted in the combustion section) When you get a chance to shoot it tell us how the "pump action" works.

I have finally tested it and it adds a little bit more power. I have adjusted the shell holder from 3" to 2" It runs very smoothly now. Plz suggest paintjob ideas if you want to the shell holder is black but that may change.

Wow I didn't know I was so inspiratinal. My next cannon is going to have a pump but with a different design, in this design the entire barrel has to be moved, which is not easy. Sadly this only got off 3 shots one day and we finished shooting for the day and I took it home to mod and I dropped the pump on my basement floor, it snapped in half. I was still able to use the cannon because I still had a female adapted chamber and a male barrel. If you make a pump of this design, (not the best, I would'nt recommend it) add a ramp to the drop hole, the shells would fall through if you didn't pump fast enough. A ramp would keep that from happening.
