After checking out Adavancedspuds I decided to make the coke gun, with a few changes. Instead of a coke bottle i used a Moutain Dew Bottle. It is not the best in the world, but hey it's still really fun to shoot. I have a 3/4 cpvc barrel for paintballs and whatever will fit in there, and a 1/2 cpvc barrel for darts(with some cotton a wadding). I have previously made two cannons before this one, but so far this is the best one. (And yes I am on the fire department.)

You could probably make the 1/2" barrel another foot longer to increase performance.
