This is my latest gun, It's made from spare parts. the chamber is 2" in diameter, and the barrel is 1 1/2". It is a rebuild of this:http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/maxi-mi ... 18096.html and I think it turned out great. Sights, and other accessories will be added soon. I hope you like it.

Looks like it would make a nice "grenade launcher" to add to something.
(Sleek trigger too).
BUT...
...Sights, and other accessories will be added soon. I hope you like it....
:lol: ...just tape them on, or ???
Add a $1 laser pointer( 8) )

BTW, Got me to thinking of wrapping tape ,etc. all over a firearm so it will look like a harmless tape toy creation... :wink: 8)

Did the tape get removed or plastered over somehow???
How does the barrel thread to the chamber?
Looks cool!

@vardas
It is PVC, and the ammo is a small piece of PVC with duct tape

@THUNDERLORD
I have a few extra mounting rails lying around, and thats how the grip is attatched

It is a totally different cannon, the last one was scrapped

It is a vitamin water bottle top

for a little more, I believe pvc with a plug would work. or ABS, as priming and gluing is more work for something that doesn't have to hold ammo.

yea, the ammo has been changed to a more aero dynamic projectile. it consists of the back half of a dart, and a hot glue ball
