The damage of the first one is just amzing for that chamber size, even at high pressure.

But both of them look really good :thumbright:

And to think I almost skipped this thread!!

Very...VERY cool indeed!!
Love these launchers man! And I love the damage even more!

Great buckshot-shot (eehmm??) :D

You can order silencers for the QEV, wich might look a bit less "super soaker"
:D
JSR must be wetting his bed now hahaha
Both he and I are known to love HP..

2) How far where you from the target?
3) Where is the fill valve?
4) What kind of fill valve are you using?
5) What is the piston made of?
6)Are we there yet??? :shock:
1, same ammo as the old cannon. 20g lead slugs and 11mm ball bearings encased in candlewax.

2, The buckshot was from 14m, the wood was from 5m.
3, The fill valve is inside the handle, which is detachable.
4, the fill valve is a quick disconnect.
5, a piece of 18mm copper pipe filled with hot glue
6, dear god i hope so :roll:

Tell me about it!! :D

Those slugs and waxed up bb's look great!

Now I'll have to build me a .50 QEV longbarrel cannon....I have the leadballs for it..

Just so you guys know...I STILL PREFER SHORT CANNONS!!

I'll make it bullpup...

I could barely sleep ;p

I really, *really* need to get me a fridge compressor - we have a fridge in the lab we might be throwing out, I'll be sure to call dibs on it :D

I don't think I'd make a single shot launcher though, lving in an urban area means that I've already reached the practical limit of what can be fired in a small back garden. What's high on the agenda is a cloud design conceptually similar to yours, one day...

That would also be my next goal, as the large one of these is well over the practical limit of what can be fired in a small garden without trouble heading my way :roll:
