Anybody made something like this?

I saw this one ages ago and wondered if anyone here had built it? Or if anyone had built something similar?

The idea of having multiple barrels strapped to you with a cool switch board as your launch controls is awesome.

I've been toying with the idea of a pneumatic version of this but probably wont get around to it for a while but it will basically be 4 inline sprinkler cannons with multiple barrels and a battery pack to wire up 4 switches for the solenoid actuation as the launcher controls. The launcher will also be able to mount onto a platform that can turn 360 and can angle it up and down.

Has anyone done this here before?(NOT asking for plans!!!!!)

This was my inspiration

Ah, that video has been posted here before, to my knowledge no one here has built it.

Hrm, that seems pretty cool.

It really isn't anything special though, apart from mabye the harness.

[mtronic]

oh ok, shame because their cannon is better than the average crap that most people post on youtube.

[MrCrowley]

True, though this cannon does have some fuel issues which could be fixed with a 4 way fuel meter.

yep as far as I can make out from the vid, he ment each cannon had one spray but he makes it sound like it has one spray as a whole.

It'd be better of just having four guys with four spudguns then it all in one, unless he has the velocity, accuracy, ammo capicity and ROF of a Ack Ack gun

Hmmm.........
This design would work nicely with 4 of Clide's GB semis to give you that 'anti-aircraft' gun feel. You could mount a compressor in the base of the gun and make it look 'self-contained' (except for the power cord for the compressor, of course).

damn it I dribbled on my key board

The rotating platform was part of a sunglasses display case from work that we "chucked out" it did have an under compartment, however it wouldn't fit into my car as a whole. I'll probably just make some kind of stand for it. I start my new job soon so I'll be taught how to weld so it will probably be made of metal.

That cannon makes an awesome sound. That will be all
