it would work fine, i just have about 100lbs of metal fittings laying around i'm tryin to use up

[hacker911]

I know this is a newb question but my question is how do you launch that thing? like where do u insert the feul and when do u put the fire lol PM with the answer please!

i use a small spritz bottle of cologne to power it

[spudshot]

you've got to be kidding me, you unscrew the end cap and spray the fuel in, then put the cap on and press the ignitor, if you cant figure something that simple out, dont go playing around with homemade cannons

[hacker911]

Easy spudshot just wondering!

[hacker911]

I told you it was a noob question!

[mcheesey]

can u explain the ignition a little better? please

[Andrew52]

its a piezo and the big bbq ones use piezo's to its a type of rock u compress it it creates positive and negative charge and it sparks

[mcheesey]

andrew that made no sense at all it just confused me more and some one give me a diagram

Have you tried PVC with this design. Did it work.

I built a very similar design out of PVC. It worked when I got the fuel load right -- which was too infrequent to be fun.

The best part was when I flooded the chamber and left it to dry. A couple hours later a friend picked it up, hit the button on the BBQ lighter. There was a satisfying pop and a slight muzzle flash. Fortunately there was no round on the chamber or a Mac G5 might have gained a new cooling vent.

that last reply did no help at all. can someone give directions and/or a diagram of the ignition? thanks

I think that is a sweet gun. I think you should add a strap so it can be straped to you. Hella cool. paint looks cool but could be better.

Sweet,

How much did it cost to make?? can you send me plans?

[spudshot]

if you cant figure it out from looking at it you might want to check your pulse. theres 5 pieces to the whole cannon. it cost about 3 bucks to make
