At first I read "the flesh banger" so I thought "pink!"

How about a fade from blue to white (blue towards the chamber and fade to white up the barrel)

I just got a Stun Gun and it will be my first time wiring one up for a cannon and I'm kind of worried about shocking myself, I've heard people mention using flyback cables but I don't know where I can get some without buying a whole flyback transformer, any suggestions? By the way, this is a coaxial...

It's a two part epoxy, you mix it up like body filler (bondo) and goop it on. Supposedly it's a skin irritant so wear latex gloves if you want to smooth it on with your fingers, I haven't had any adverse effects from it. The epoxies I've seen are UV sensitive (as is PVC pipe) so make sure to paint i...

This isn't mine, I found the link on the MAKE:Blog and thought I'd share it with you guys:
carbide cannon

Basically you mix calcium carbide with water and it produces acetylene gas, it's based on a kids toy from the 70's so it must be reasonably safe.

I'm at work on a Mac so I haven't tried it out, but google recently bought the company that makes SketchUp and they offer a free version now >link<
I've seen it used alot in computer modding forums for sketching out case-designs.

Although, I'm more of a Maya man myself.

I went to all the local hardware stores and saw that all the fittings above 2" did not say NSF-PW, just NSF-DWV. So I asked someone in the plumbing department in Home Depot wether or not the fittings were pressure rated since they only said DWV, he said they were and he had built numerous potato gun...

Thanks for the help, I never really thought pneumatics would be more powerful than combustion. I'm really bummed out that the t-section I used on my small gun is DWV, it has a really nice grip to it. I'm going to experiment with different valve designs this week and see if I can get a new gun ready ...

I picked this up at Lowes ProPlumber 1/8" Air Valve You can also buy a push in tire valve at any car parts store, cut the fat bulb part off the end, and squeeze 1/4" ID tubing over it (I had to stick my tube in boiling water to soften it first). I'm not sure how safe this is at high pressures, I fou...

A spring eh, interesting. I'll be mounting the schrader near the back after all, I did a test fitting and it's easier to have the pump handle facing away anyway. I'll make sure everything is ABS when I purchase more supplies, neither cannon works and are using dwv parts so I'm going to cut them up f...

Here's my plans for a modified punisher valve that removes the cleanout from the equation while also providing a triple layer of PVC to tap through. http://www.artbyjustin.com/misc/modifiedpunisher.gif Let me know what you think. I have one other question, does the schrader valve have to be placed b...

what can I substitute a cleanout plug with for the punisher valve? Could I just put an end cap on the back and then cut a 1" long section of pipe, reduce it so it fits snug, and place it in the endcap to create a ledge for the diaphragm? The smaller gun isn't going to use large amounts of air pressu...

Hi, I'm new here. I made these two cannons this week, the large one was more of a learning experience, hence the lack of handles. The smaller one is my attempt at a nerf cannon. My number 1 problem is the screw on caps, they leak like crazy, I tried sealing the larger one with Loctite Plastic Epoxy ...

I haven't picked up a solenoid valve yet but I was wondering if you could screw a PVC end cap in where the solenoid used to be and screw your hose adapter into that?
