if i was to make a pvc chamber and use it above 50 degrees, i am wondering the extent of a failure, in other words, has anyone had a hand held cannon explode on them? i wrapped my potato gun barrel in a carbord tube and then wrapped the whole thing in duck tape. my only problem is that i dont see the otside and wouldnt be able to see any knicks/abrasions/ dents that could be leathel, any ideas?

also, if i cant get 2inch copper pipe, then could i connect a few of those 1 foot of 1 inch steel pipes with the ends threaded. would that work for a chamber?
