well it's actually a syringe used in a doctors office to clean out peoples ears! But it slides easy and has graduation marks so I know how much gas I'm using. I plug it in to the gas bottle. When I open the valve slowly the bottle pressure will move the plunger back. I calculated the chamber volume ...

Is this a mini?

Probably to big to qualify, but I thought I would share anyway. I built this so I would have something to shoot the leftover potato rings when I'm shooting my jumbo spray-n-pray cannon. I used roughly the same proportions as my big cannon. The barrel is 1/2" dia. and 21" long. The chamber is a PVC t...

where do I get a gas syringe?

I found some plastic syringes but there is way too much friction on the plunger for the gas bottle to move it.

What is this newbie doing wrong?

Hi all: Sorry if this question has been posted before. I used the search function but didn't see what I needed. I've been having great fun for the past year with my first spray-n-pray cannon, it's very easy to get the right fuel/air mix (16"L x 4" dia. combustion chamber, 44"L, 1.5" dia. barrel). So...
