Nice job on that cannon!

mtronic: You get 25% more muzzle velocity with map and overall about 11% more velocity. But instead of a 4.2% mix like propane, it's 4.6 and instaed of 90psi (tank pressure) it has 94.

By far my favorite combustion so far...

I will now reveal the secret. I cut a hole in the center, then slid a 2" male threaded adapter through the back, and threaded the ball valve onto the protruding threads. I sealed the inside with some silicone sealant. It works great.

Once again, thanks for all of the positive replies.
Damn you spudblaster, i guessed the way you did- then you told everyone :lol: Exactly how i make some of my attachments and the method used is strong as, nice cannon.
