Here is my first cannon with a 3 in x 14 in chamber and a 2in x 36 in barrel. Used a Electric BBQ ignighter from Canadian tire. All ABS. Just a couple of loose ends to finish before i fire it.

NOTE FROM PIMPMANN22: Moved to SCC from GSCQ since it is not a question, but rather a Combustion Gun, so it belongs here.

looks good, i thought ABS was not pressure rated ?? if not i give it 5 good shots before it comes apart/cracks good luck

im thinking of using quick start for the fuel and i dont think i will crack or come apart because it is very thick 2/8's for the barrel and thicker for the chamber

I thought that ABS could be used in combustion cannons, just not pnuematics.

I thought I read that on this forum somewhere.

I know Im going to get made fun of vut I use abs for every, thing even pressure tanks i know it sounds stupid but i have tested it extensivly and it has never failed me.
