Yo thanks - found goathunter's gun may use an o-ring

I will have a pressure chamber, just left it off the drawing for clarity

The 20 Gauge shells fit very well, but I have had 1/2 pipe that have slightly different IDs and you might need one wrap of tape or something.

Break-Action Shotgun Seal

alright, after finding out a spent 20 gauge shell make a perfect "shell" for 1/2" pipe (because of the flange at the end) I decided to make a break-action shotgun. Have never made one.

It looks simple enough to build, but i dont know about the seal in between the barrel and the other bit (where it ...

Huzzah!

After messing around with easily available/easily made reusable shells, i just realized that a 20 Gauge Shotgun shell (empty, of course) fits perfectly into 1/2" Sch. 80 (1/2 'Thinwall') perfectly, up til the little metal flange at the end, which stops it from coming out when the gun is ...

Found out 1/2" inch thinwall PVC is the same inside diametre as a twelve-gauge shotgun. Cut a shell apart to get the birdshot, realised the plastic wad fit in the barrel. Fill with BB's and put tissue over one end, or fill with any small, irregulat objects. for breechloaders and semi-automatics ...

Multi-Shot Cannon - Questions on valves and Gauges

I haven't tried to make a multi-shot cannon before, and i have some questions.

First off, would this design work? I would close the valve to the barrel, opent the valve to the main air champer, and pressurize the "dead space" Then close the valve to the air chamber and fire by opening the valve to ...

Slightly dangerous, but the skinny propane bottles fit perfect in 3" pipe.
