Finished an over under cannon. The chamber is one and a half feet of 2" pipe. Valve is 3/4" modded sprinkler valve. The barrel is 3/4" also. This thing is powerful. I filled it up with water and it violently jerked my arm back. It's loud too, I painted it black with a clear coat but the clear coat made it look like crap. It had a red dot cheap scope thing on it but it fell off. :oops: .

Oh yeah I have a video of it dry firing.


Sadly, it doesn't have a removable barrel. But 5/8" wooden dowel rods fit almost prfectly in it with a small layer of tape.

I like it! The paint job loooks fine so i dont know what your talking about. I dont know why I like but its just so streamlined and isnt all types crap hanging off to the side. I also like the second gun in there but you should repaint it.

Jesus people comment on his gun. Its a cool gun and deseverves positive comments!

Very nice! You should trim off thoes wires. Or just remove the solinoid and epoxy the hole. Welcome to the forums.

Actually I've been here for at least 3 months. I don't have any epoxy.

Yesterday I was trying to find a way to make that red dot scope useful. I was outside "calibrating" it and when I look through it the hole think just kind of rolls off. I laughed for a good 5 minutes about it. Don't ever use hot glue for anything lol.

A couple of nice clean looking cannons there mate. Is that a folding bipod on the other one?
