I totally agree! I would love to see a direct injection system retrofitted to this cannon, or perhaps on the next build. I like the looks of it and look forward to more work from you in the future.

thank you again because of having a double walled c-b, chamber i think it will hold up to conciderably more pressure that an advanced would give .but how much ? i d k .i,m also working on a under & over barrel, a short 24 in. barrel so i can swap out .I bet a rifled barrel would be nifty too

I managed to crack a 3 layer sandwhich of pvc once, so be careful with it. Awesome for a pay 'n spray, love the skull and barrel.[/list]

Nice gun!

I must admit, the skull detracts from the gun slightly for me, makes it look more juvenile, but the design is very nice, that is a gun to be proud of.

Keep em' coming!

No thank you, we NEVER use that word when referring to spudguns.

Weapon: something used to injure or kill, generally referring specifically to the injury or killing of humans.

This is not something we do with our launchers, and it's not something we want associated with them either. There are quite enough people doing that for us without us doing it to ourselves.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

thank you i am quite proud of it i call it hot& heavy (26.4) lbs. i was lookin around an automotive store when i saw that sticker & just couldn't resist it ....or the chrome spray paint . this is a gun that i plan on upgrading with a fan & meter hopefully by warmer weather. I cant wait to see what it'll do on the range!! Remember the devil is in the details!, Safety first.
p.s. it's bad form (illegal) to shoot people,property,& pets.
thanks again!!! vardas

Thats a sweet cannon man! That metal thing on the barrel looks awesome. I'd love to see some videos if you get the chance.
