Edit by MrC: Preview picture too big so it's been removed. Try resizing it yourself, I had a similar problem once.

thanks.. alot grizzly :)

here is the ammo i plan to shoot with it.. (paintball) and Airsoft..

Image
Figure a shows a 3d view of what the round looks like empty

Figure b shows the round loaded with paintballs

figure c shows the round loaded but from the outside.

figure c shows the round exiting the barrel.. notice how the slits split open when they catch air and drag.. this is made from the bottom of styrofaom cups.. and when its shot it opens up.. cause its only taped at the base.. kinda hard to get the rounds in it.. but once you do.. look out airsoft and paintballers.. here comes hells fury.. then i will have peace made easy..lol

Nice i hope to see some real damage from this monster any chances of a better fuel because that hair spray will muck up that nice cannon so bad. Oh also did you remember to glue everything this time. Really this cannon is a work of art.

Scottcrete just out of curiosity what does the cat laying next to the gun think about it all?

What do you have rigged up for an ignition?
