I built this one a couple days ago,it's very simple at the moment but i have plans for it in the future.I havn't had the chance to launch any spuds out of it yet,but i have shot it several blanks using burst disks.So far with 2 layers of masking tape it puts a 12 gauge shot gun to shame as far as the sound.Im not sure about the diminsions of it at the moment but the combustion chamber is 1 foot long without out the couplers and the fittings,right now im using a 2.5 foot long 2 inch barrel but i also have it set up to use my 1.5 inch rifled barrel that i ordered from the sgtc.So tell me what you think and feel free to leave any idea's for improoving it.

What do you mean perhaps a chamber fan?!, it is a definate must. It is easy to do and ups your power significantly.
Forever dreaming...
