Okay- so I'm new here. I've got a pneumatic cannon I will post later, and I got bored. I saw some of the other pill bottle cannons, and decided to make one of my own. It's simple, and it doesn't shoot very far, but it's cool.

I use a long-nosed lighter for the spark, and axe for fuel. I need to make a larger combustion chamber.


I'm getting upload errors- so I'll post the image here.

Heh. I was bored. Its okay, it needs a bigger gas chamber. I'll draw up some plans. It's pretty simple. Just look at it. I'm building a pepsi bottle gun now. :]

I just made another Pill bottle "cannon" V2 is WAY better. It REALLY shoots good! It's a bigger bottle, and a smaller barrel.

I use a long nose lighter ignitor. AXE is my fuel. It's all taped- no glue.
