Nobody’s placed an order yet. If you want one read my last post.

I think and hope that this will be my last question, yea right, but anyway, here it goes. To attach the air ram to the barrel, how should I go about doing that? The wrench in the works is that the barrel cannot be punctured, so no bolt through it. There lays the problem of how to mount it. It must be strong enough to move a 15 foot barrel so I am perplexed, again.

Ream out a coupler, affix a mounting point to said coupler, glue said coupler to barrel.

[grumpy]

you could do something similar to this. not sure if this has been posted here before or not.

O you could look about 15 post below you...

Because the Boom boom can only shoot 1 barrel every 3 seconds...

Mine on the other hand

Unless you have a block to distribute force you are going to have an issue with a single Rame cycling the bolt.

Well I am not going for a very rapid fire rate here, I am mostly going for the appeal of a breach loaded cannon that happens to open and close the breach for you. Nothing special.

Furthermore, I am using a rather large chamber and a Supah, so my fill rate will be rather slow.

[socoj2]

I guess it depends on what you shoot. and how much power you want.

I have 60 CUI @ 60 PSI

Umm my chamber as of now and is most likely to get bigger, is like 6 feet of 4 inch PVC, whose volume I would figure out but my head hurts. And since my air compressor is a tiny waste of space, it takes like 5 minutes to fill.

[DYI]

Your chamber volume is roughly 905 cubic inches.

Not many people have Supah valves these days, I've gathered that they're a bit of any oddity. If your going for 3" bore though, a bit larger porting could be in order.

[ShowNoMercy]

Nah I am using a 2 inch bore, based off of the caulk tubes I plan on using as ammo. If I get it all working I may have enough inertia to start fabricating a recoil operated action but thats a ways off. And the supah is almost two years old, still working great.
