Spud excelarating prototype #2


This gun is a good 7 feet long with a 4foot x 2 inch barrel, 4 inch by18 inch chamber, bbq ignition and a serrated muzzle knife. i made it for a friend who took it and tryed it out and never payed me the money he owed me so I had to repo it.

The pic is sideways, it may sound stupid telling u this but alot of people were confused. (notice the 1 gallon jug for scale)

here you can see the bell adapters the home depot by my house dident have the right bushings, I dont like it but my friend did so its okay.

He just telling you that if you mix ABS and PVC that will create a weak spot in your cannon. But if you bolted it together that will make it strong enough from seperating. If you dont agree with some one you dont have to listen to them and reply in CAPS just do your thing. If I were you I would take blb suggestions seriously because he knows what hes talking about. To tell you the truth I have mixed ABS and PVC on several cannons its just not safe because the glue doesnt bond those differents types of pipe very well.

I wasent mad or nothing but annoyed that some one would have that attitude about it . and just so you all know I new that mixing abs and pvc was weak but that was what the client wanted and he gave me the piece for the barrel to cut costs, sorry if I sounded really angry.

Dude, thats got to suck something awful. I dont think I could just sit back and watch someone take my creations. I'd go off, or go James Bond stile to get them back, complete with silenced spud gun, lol.
