Any people with copper barrels

Cannons powered by pneumatic pressure (compressed gas) using a valve or other release.

If you have a copper barrel and you are using 1/2 inch, I found a new ammo you can use and fits great =)

Use double A batteries, my little brother found out by just trying it. He was able to launch them things out of site. =)

I had better performance shooting them out of a 2.5 inch barrel in a sabot. They flatten much more when shot against a steel plate. The acceleration is much higher.

Tech - That's impressive battery pancake, did you use your QDV to achieve this? if so what was the operating pressure?

... and PET bottle support, otherwise the foam will collapse.
