Well im not sure i can call this little thing a cannon :lol: but what the heck. This is my smallest pneumatic its only about 3 inches long , its a coax it has a 6mm barrel for bbs the chamber is 3/4 sch80 , it is filled with a sharader valve and exhausted with the sharader valve , its runs at about 100-170 psi. oh and the sealing face is mousepad everythings held in with epoxy ,hope you guys like :D

Wow that thing is tiny! I bet it's fun though, and what kind of performance do you get with this "cannon"?

Wow I was expecting some cannon with a 3" barrel. :lol:
Nice performance, reminds me of my failed attempt at a mini coaxial.

Heres mine, except it didn't work. :x
It was designed to shoot the ball points out of a pen.

Well it kinda worked, the piston sealed but the pressure pushed the barrel out. Piston was an eraser with 1 layer of duct tape.
Tomorrow if I get bored I'll finish my other cannon, its a .177 cal barrel sealing piston gun in a tee. :D

BTW, how well does that epoxy bond PVC to PVC? Without sanding or roughening up the surface
