This gun was a little more expensive to build and really more trouble than it's worth. A lot of people swear that pneumatic is better than combustion but I am a combustion man myself. I don't have the necessary know how to build a truly decent pneumatic cannon however.

Below are the plans for how I built this cannon.

This gun is a low powered cannon that is fun at party's in the summer. I get out a bucket of water balloons and launch those across the yard. Although they don't cause serious damage when shot at someone... THEY DO HURT. So I would not advise doing this. It is however fun to shoot a barely full of water up in the air and let it rain down on everyone.

You can see here some freeze frames of me shooting water out of the cannon.

I may have the actual video up here for viewing at a later date.

thanks for the comments, I know i'm a little late getting back here....

I'd just like to add that this cannon has since then been chopped up for parts... it was fun while it lasted, and since I had typed that narration I've gotten a little more into pnuematics and have built some better looking peices... still a combustion fan though.
