MetalMayhem is my first attempt at a metal gun, and my first attempt at a coaxial piston valve. The launcher is a coaxial piston type, made mostly of spare parts I had already. The barrel is 3/8" copper pipe, and the chamber is part of an old aluminum bike pump. The piston is extremely simple, its only a 1" copper cap with neoprene bolted onto it. I thought this gun would be powerful, but I had no idea how fast it would actually shoot! I split a cork in two on my first shot. The cork only came into contact with some wadded up cloth. The pilot area (area being the piston) is exhausted with a 1/4" ball valve.

The internals of the gun. They are laid out how it would be inside the chamber. The white thing is to center the barrel. It is just a ground out and cut down 1" end cap. Sheet PVC would work also, as would wood or anything really. The back of the chamber (right end) is plugged with the original bike pump plug. It is held into place with the 1/4" pipe nipple that the exhaust ball valve is attached to.

Oh, by the way, this little guy is FAST! It amazed me for its size! I can shoot big ball bearings (fit perfect in the barrel) at 411fps, but here is the amazing shot: 911.5FPS! That's chrony data when shooting a 3/8" cork at 120psi.
Needless to say, I almost wet my pants with excitement when I saw a number that big on my chrony!

BEAST..
Just a metal beast.

There is a TON of metal guns now. What are you too good for PVC, lol, jk

[beebs111]

that is insane i have a crrrappy bike pump in my garage so maybe i can find the parts to make it

[3quarters]

That is sic, bro
u sed u made it out of spare crap?
that is so sic

[bubblebathman]

awsome but ewww... thats is a peace of @#!$

[spudshot]

why do you say that? it shoots extremely well, its not that ugly either

[drac]

Hmmm, nice choice of words bubbleman. Let me find a good rant on the whole thing:

I don't care if someone posts a mediocre-looking cannon or not, they don't deserve to be teased about it. I've seen many "pill-bottle minis"
that I wouldn't wipe my dog's ass with, cannons, taped together with gift wrap and duct tape, and 4" plugs made of wood. And no one makes a fuss over the lack of "bling".

Courtesy of DR.
Oh, and boogieman is a spudgun genius, he has a hybrid, and has one of the only revolver guns in existence. So before you go dissing anyone else's cannons, take a good look at yourself and say "What gives me the right to say that?"

Besides, buddy, where are your guns?

Sorry bout that, some things have been bugging me and I needed to get that out of my system.

well, when that happens, i type my anger out, but i never hit "Submit"

[drac]

Well, I guess that's what makes us different then doesn't it?
Besides, many people that know me don't take me seriously, because half the time, I'm not.
But when I feel strong on a certain position, you'll get a HUGE rant like the one above.

[julz]

saladtosser: good idea, i might have to try that one time and just preview it.

yeh, bubble, dont bother to give ppl shit about cannons, espescially if u havent posted one yet. if ur going to criticise, at least give reasons for it.

i like the cannon but i still dont understand how piston guns work
anyeay, cya

[CHRISW_is_DEAD]

911.5 ?!?! and the Fed's are alright with these things? AWSOME! I like the simplicity and performance. Some people can build really cool looking guns that can't barely even shoot. I'll take performance any day.

[SpudStuff]

thats asome because its so simpul
how much did all the parts cost together?

[zvallance1]

once again, an old topic brought back up...
and read the VERY BEGINNING
says "provided by boogieman," but the guy who started the topic is PCGUY...cant expect him to answer back Boogie
anways, people i know usually forget how much their guns cost..they're too caught up in actaully shooting stuff to care

[WOW!!]

Dam, i new i should not have throw that bike pump out lol
