i like the cannon exept for the reducers. and the dwv Y.

is this used for paintball? just saying because its nerf footballs.

I like it the paintjob rocks.

On the non-pressure side it's fine. Once it begins exhausting, the psi is dropping quite dramatically and instantly.
It doesn't have to ...

Da Pneu Kid wrote:That is a sweet cannon! I love the paintjob too. But... those bell rducers are DWV. since you're only taking it up to 40 psi, it's prolly ok, but just don't take it higher than that.

I pressure tested it to 120psi for 12 hours and it didn't blow up.

It is a 2 inch RV Waste Gate Slide Valve.

search on "valterra valve".

Hi folks! I've been away, well, just not siging in and not posting much.
Hope that all is well with everyone here at SpudFiles.

The reason I asked, is, when I hear sabot, I think of a break-a-way casing. Like a cardboard tube slit in 2 or 3 sections.

Water balloons are always a problem, especially in a 2-inch bore.
We have been working on a sabot system for those small water balloons, but, part of the problem is the initial ...

Thanks,
The paintjobs become a necessity (more than just trying to look cool) when you are running around in the woods trying to stay hidden.

All Schedule 40 nsf-pw

80psi Max, typically about 65psi.

Thanks on the paintjob, this one wasn't very good, it was a quickie to have it ready for a game.

Wow, I thought it was more than that!
But, I don't know a whole lot about Combustion Cannons.

Beebs you just earned 10 SkunkWerX Bux.

Apology accepted. but no kissing to make up, I gotta draw the line somewhere. It's all too mushy for me.
Call me a bad name, I'll feel better.

I have finally decided that under no circumstance do I want my rank changed, not ever. If it ever increases I will stomp my feet and use lots of *'s and ...

How do you make the sabot with water?

I use a 2 1/4" hole saw, with the center drill bit removed to cut 2" foam plugs.

You insert a foam plug into the bore, then pour in your smaller projectiles of choice, then use another plug to top it off. Ram it down and fire.

Since the plugs are foam, they are deflected out of the way, allowing ...
