and a little vid to see how i adjust the mapp gaz, and how it's easy to have a perfect mix with a venturi nozzle.

That is extremely impressive. Do you have any idea on velocity/power?

metering is that simple eh?
you could probably do something similar with one chamber and barrel and mapp/oxy
could be really high flashback risk though.
multiple chambers is definitely safer for that reason.
It's a beautiful mechanism, i'd like to see more detail in the reload system.

Considering this just won the 'favourite cannon on Spudfiles' competition, I was wondering if there are any updates?

@ijahman Could you go a little more in depth in your reloading system for the gas? I looked up on how "venturi nozzles" work and I understand how they work, but from my understanding you're using a regulator to regulate the mapp gas and the venturi nozzle to decrease the pressure but increase the flow. I didn't reasearch too much on it but from the below video that's what I got.

Also, are you still using a central manifold to inject the fuel into each chamber as they rotate? Or are you using a different method because you're upgrading or something?

All of your videos are private. I can't watch the awesomeness of this gun.
Yea, that's definitely going to get you at least a tazer.
