Nice how much experience do you have with air cannons. If its a first, then it is really quite impressive. I still havent built anything that powerful

mother of god... I looked at the pics on the first page before the video and I was like meh so? and then I saw the vid......Now I want to build one 
maybe some kind of handle or turret will make it easier to fire?

i dunno about a turret, because i love the trill of shooting it, but yeah i defiantly want to make a handle for it and have it look more aesthetically pleasing. anyone have any ideas? i was thinking about maybe something like joel's tee shirt launchers.mtronic wrote: maybe some kind of handle or turret will make it easier to fire?

How did you get that 3" sprinkler valve!?!! How much did it cost!? The biggest I have ever seen is 2"!

It cost me 60 dollars on ebay. i also bought the pilot 3/4'' qev on ebay for 5.

If I were you I would pilot it with something much bigger like a 2inch ball valve.woffer5698 wrote:It cost me 60 dollars on ebay. i also bought the pilot 3/4'' qev on ebay for 5.

I'm piloting a 2" sprinkler with a 3/8" ball valve and it works just fine.

I'm pretty pretty sure a 3/4" QEV can vent quicker than a 2" ballvalve.

Somehow, the standard "nice gun" reponse doesn't quite cut it here 
You could make these out of bondo or wood, but bondo would be easier because you can form it around the blowgun and tubing.
And no, I don't think you need a bigger pilot valve. The qev seems to work fine.
Here are two ideas if you are looking to add a handle.anyone have any ideas?

IMO the second one would take out his shoulder.
