I would paddle out in my one sheet boat halfway across the world to help find it

So that ring can ultimately change the way the sabot behaves, eh? Very neat.

That receiver should be no problem to mock up. And if you have a belt sander, it wouldn't be too much extra effort to deepen the contours of the stock. The reference picture shows a bit more of a gradual round-over on the upper portion, especially around where you hand must grab. I love seeing proje...

Anyone who underestimates a silly looking gun deserves to lose. You might even consider wearing a clown outfit to employ some reverse psychology tactics. Slip on a banana peel and then rip the person a new excrement muzzle.

Make sure you use a high quality plastic bonding enamel, or Rustoleum Professional Enamel, which I have found to work flawlessly for most any project. Mask after the paint has fully cured. No need to have to repaint because you got impatience (like I do). Also I haven't personally tried it, but appa...

Nosey neighbors no doubt. Situations like this are why I do not believe in close proximity housing. A similar case, I had a thoroughly insulated shed at a buddies place used as a practice space for my band, and sure enough his neighbors (two doors down, mind you), with nothing better to do had to co...

Mark makes a good point. It's also critical to factor in the thickness of the finish when you make the wooden piece as well. Another solution would be to saturate the piece with a water thin CA glue, then sand smooth. This will make it extremely hard as well as protect it from moisture without chang...

Very nice. Can't wait until it is 100%

It doesn't need to be solid wood. You could make washers out of wood and mount them on a bolt similar to how people make pistons with metal washers, nuts, and threaded rod.

I agree with MRR. There are some people in this world that shouldn't handle a butter knife, much less a piece of pvc filled with air pressure. With instructions come liabilities. What happens when a less than intelligent kid builds a cannon from his father's scrap plumbing and ends up blowing a hole...

what other ideas are there than using stuff that is hard to find? Wood can work for a piston. It would probably be your least expensive option, assuming you have a 3" hople saw and some sand paper. You could even use it in place of a three inch washer. Just cut circles from some 3/4" stock, prefera...

death space Jake, you're my hero. The cannon looks good, guy with a dog who likes tennis balls. The dead space isn't really too much of a problem in this circumstance since this build isn't centered around destructive force. The only thing it hampers is your efficiency. But who cares, it looks like...

It should all come down to the skill of the player, not the equipment that they are using. and Now yes, skill is very important, and I have seen a team of ex marines that used clear plastic walmart guns rush and flank a team with full milsim loadouts with KWA m4's running on lipos Gunfreak, I used ...

Take a look at the Hybrid section or the wiki. The links can be found at the top right of the home page.

Generally, hybrid cannons use burst disks, so the combustion triggers the firing.

Gader, crosman usually has good stuff, but against the stuff I skirmish against, its crap. Crosman vs. Crosman is usually pretty good, but crosman vs. 400+ airsoft guns, not very good Crosman vs. Crosman is good, but when I have Crosman guns and my buddies all have cheap little springers, it's even...

I always stuck with my Crosman gear when I used to skirmish. I had the C11 airmag pistol and the folding stock AK. No extra mags, and my clothing choices were usually a tee shirt and jeans.
