SpudFiles

hey i was bored and wanted to make a small pneumatic cannon so i came up with this.it is one of those twist top honey bottles with a tire valve screwed into the bottom and a barrel attached.

cant seem to add pics
also i use pearl head pins for ammo

pins ouch, be carefull not to aim wrong/missfire ever see a straight pin all the wat through some ones finger OUCH!!!
P.S.- pulling it out really sux!

P.S.S.-GO AHEAD ! ! ASK ME HOW I FREAKING KNOW!!!!!!

be very careful with it,and i wouldnt go over 20psi with it. i an tell you now that it wont take the pressure that is need to launch a spud/bolt/marble. id stick with metal or pvc

How much pressure have you used? I wouldnt go very high with a honey bottle either, and why cant you add pics?

P.S.S.-GO AHEAD ! ! ASK ME HOW I FREAKING KNOW!!!!!!

How do you know?

i have got to buy one of those gag "nail through finger" thingys from the dollar store...

i have taken it to about 35 psi at the max but i want to pressure test it to 6o to see if it can take it. i will be very care ful some other ammo i have used it tiny nails they work well and pen cartrigedes act as paint balls they explode with ink evey where when they hit !!!!
also i want to make the same type of thing with a tomato sauce twist top bottle they look like they are a bit thicker plastic.

P.S. i made this type of cannon because i could not seem to get the combustion minis to work the right air fuel mix and all that.

dont take it above 35,the chamber will rupture,or the lid will blow off.

I don't know if you should be using it at all, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but those bottles really aren't that thick, I'm surprised to see that it held 35

i said id pressure test it to 60 i mean hide behind a big peice of wood while the compressor pumps it up so no one gets hurt and i see if it is safe to take it that far plus i scraped that cannon to make my new air rifle.

well drac it's like this-my friend made a small cumbustion out off some kind of alumium tubeing and wrapped napkins around hat pins (6"s long), to shorten the story up-he shot me the first time,(misfired), 5 minutes later i had ahold of it, got it ready to shoot, misfired again-shot that same freaken pin through the same freaken finger, during the second removel the napkin and plastic head came off, so i had to go get plyers--OU-FREAKEN-CH !!!!!

the trick is---PULL STRAIGHT !

that sounds like it realy hurt did it go the whole way through your finger or did it just stick in a little bit
