It doesn't matter if it bonds the two pieces together, cuz they wont bond correctly and strong enough if the primer isn't coated well enough, and like I said it will be painted anyway so I wasn't worried about a few primer spots showing

It seems like people are ignoring the fact that this is an awesome semi automatic cannon, congrats on getting it working! Any details on your loading mech?

nice cannon btw and i wouldn't worry about the fittings. after all pvc cement does literally bond the two pieces together
yeah but if there isn't enough surface area the fitting could just blow right off, that's why all the other fittings have double the socket depth.

Yeah, if you look at my first post in the showcase, I will also post a video to show completely how it works, and explain how the loading mechanism works, and thanks for being the only one to actually talk about the semi auto part, everyone else is too busy talking about fittings. Ill have videos of it shooting semi soon. It also has a threaded barrel and chamber, so I can use any size barrel or tank I want.
