Possibly another sponser for Spudfiles? Did you inquire about that when you PMed PCGUY????

Since your looking for feedback and not advertizing sales I wont lock this, but thats me not the other moderators, they might see it differently.

I have to say you never stop to impress me. I really like the website. The cobra striker has a suprising low price. It's much more money than i have but i would buy one. I have to say your cannons are amasing.
Life's too short to mark off the items on your wish list...

From a design standpoint, the site could use quite a bit. An actual printable order form would be a good start (available in HTML and PDF), with an eventual upgrade to PayPal integration and HTTPS.

Also, if you're going into business, it would pay to have more item variety. Two very high end cannons are nice, but some cheaper models (perhaps from painted steel) would be a nice balancing force for your market...

Selling hybrid cannons? I think that should be left for tinkers to indulge on their own terms.

Storing large volumes of fuel, and oxygen on a cannon is only something you yourself should pursue. I think its ridiculous to sell this... Guess it is PC teeter time.

The site needs more content BEFORE launching.

The cannons look great. Just CYA in this litigious society.

Um, this page - the link to the Spud Wiki. When I wrote "A record of the production of a high quality machined hybrid" the word "record" is used in the sense of "documents", not "award".

Anyway, I'm simply not capable of awarding you any such "records".

Just to give you a heads up, I have changed the wording on the wiki to avoid further ambiguity. However, if you wish to use the fact the cannon is on that page, then feel free - I would still be wary of the fact that it's on a wiki that anyone can edit, which not only makes it slightly questionable, if vandalised (not impossible) then it could be made to say all kinds of different things.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

you might want to expand your inventory. also, why is the 2x seemingly simpler cannon almost 4 times the price of the 5x cannon? might want to a price analysis

The 5x is oxy-fuel I believe and much, much easier and cheaper to build.

I agree.The prices seemed to be switched..

The Striker seems to be the better cannon in every way.
