Here's a little project I did one night after shooting my mauler cannon and out of boredom I went to Lowes and made it.
It works great!
It has a variety of barrels, 1", 3/4", Paintball, and semi-auto marble barrel.
Its completely portable thanks to my co2 regulator setup.

That will look cool connected to a belt carried CO2 tank and small coiled connecting air hose.

Any idea how many, say 100 psi shots, you would get from a 20 oz CO2 tank and this cannon?

I have no idea on how many shots, but you have almost the right idea, I was going to mount the co2 in a satchel that I can rig to a belt

I made an Excel spreadsheet that can calculate that, I might post it tonight.

Great cannon, looks like fun!

Very slick. I like the stock; reminds me of Spudinator's hybrid. Can't wait to see the CO2 setup.

What you should do is make shells out of a piesce of barrel and go with coupler shell coupler setup with a locking mech. On the inside of the shell would be like tape disk over back of shell wadding paintballs tape disk over front of shell. I also think it would look cooler w/o the stock but that's just me.

very nicely done, love the stock

looks good... would look even better with a black paintjob.

ya i agree, paint would look nice to hide that pink printing on the pvc, what about a barrel support? doesn't it flex and stress out the union/elbows without some kind of blocking between the barrel and chamber? I don't mess around with plastic, i assume it needs support wherever possible so it doesn't fail on me someday... just my theory anyways.
