Thats funny, today I got 110 psi out of it.
By the way I'm not a teenager, I'm 24 but i just wont grow up.
I don't shoulder fire or hold my cannon, I stand it up on a pile of tires and use
a blowgun on a 2 foot hose to fire it. if it blows I know i'm not getting injured any more than I have been from other stupid shit i have done, and i still have 2 eyes, 10 fingers, 10 toes, and most of my teeth.
and, i'm canadian, i'm sure these things are illegal here anyway

would you please rinse the sand out of your vagina.
I know i've posted pressures i've reached in a couple of threads, but I felt it was relevant in each of them, besides i was hoping for more feedback on the matter.
If you think its bullshit, fine, test the burst point yourself.
WHEN I burst my cannon, and yes I eventually will. I will post the pressures that it failed at.
my entire point is that my abs cannon, made from everyday 2 inch drainway pipe and a 3/4 inch watermaster valve has been repetitively fired at 155 psi
without problems.
i definitely don't recommend going that high, but I believe it shows 2" solid core abs would definitely be safe at 100 psi, contrary to the opinion of many.

Solid core ABS is in fact generally fine. The mistake made is that most of the time, ABS is Cellular core and not rated for any pressure.

I hate it all around but you can't argue too much with this guy.

Frank, take it easy.

And SpudStuff, don't be an ass.

SpudStuff, I am putting you on a text-alteration suspension. You are to use only the standard size, color, and style. The next time I see so much as a word in all capitals from you I will delete the entire post without even thinking twice about it.

You need to learn that people will not listen to a shithead who just yells to get his point accross. Prove to us through solid explanations using quality instead of volume and maybe we will view you as having some kind of significant value to these forums.

While I'm ripping you a new one... is there a reason you find it acceptable to give people shit about their work when as far as I can see, you have posted ONE cannon? That one cannon not even being your own. :evil:

You are damn close to being permanently gone from here. You need to make it up by showing us, not telling us. I know you can make something. Prove yourself worthy. I dare you. :wink:
