what did you use for an ignition source ? nice cannon also.

hey f.c

the ignition is something i made out of a 3,0V flyswatter
i picked it apart, modded it a little bit and put a 9V on it(the rest you see on the pic)

the spark is QUICK and HUGE

allways ignites 8)

welcome to spudfiles

ILTBTU

I didnt understand a word of that.
Pressure ratings dont matter on combustions, but they do matter?
Eh?

Edit: Oh i forgot to mention, great looking cannon!

thx for the quick and positive response guys

atleast i know that im not a total *BEEEEP*(strong language) when it comes to spudguns

I assume the hardware cloth is used for a safety feature (If that was stated in an earlier post, I apologize; I did not read all of them). Whether it is or isn't, I think it's a nice touch. Makes the cannon look unique, and I think that's what every cannon needs (referring to uniqueness). Good job.

Welcome to Spudfiles.

Maxus, i said they don't matter as much . difference.

ABS pipe doesent send shrapnel, it breaks in seams.

Most DWV has been "tested" by fellow spudders to 100- 160psi burst pressure. But never use it in a puenematic/high powered combustion.

The only thing Im worried about is cell core PVC pipe.

Cell core ABS it fine to use for a combustion even my metered stungun style ignition uses cell core abs because the way they extrude abs it leaves "seams" so if it is gonna blow it will blow along a seam, not as a shrapnel grenade like pvc

thx hubb. appreciate it

the hardware cloth was first just an idea to make it look unique as you said, but i read the pvc spreads shrapnel all over the place if it explodes, so it got intended for safety reasons too

Duck your heads guys, the sky is about to fall --
Watch your language! My sensitive eyes hurt when i see such language. Besides, young people read this stuff. That being said -- Great first cannon, i like it! Do you or friends have a video camra? We/I love to watch video's of the distruction. Welcome to Spudfiles.

thx
i`ll watch my language from now on. sry about that

and yes, i`ve got a video camera but the problem is that i live in a small town in a quite crowded area in the middle of the "über-christian-neighbourhood" (i`ve already been getting a LOT of negative response from them)

anyways, i`ll try to get som destruction-vids uploaded in a couple a days if i get the time to do it

but first off i need to find something that "needs" to be destroyed

It is PVC? I thought it was made of ABS pipe, but after looking again, it looks as if the pipe is wrapped in electrical tape.

If it is made of ABS, it will split rather than shatter. Also, I wouldn't be too concerned with the PVC shattering with a combustion. But don't remove the hardware cloth.

yup, PVC in electrical tape (as i mentioned earlier the PVC was pink.... and i wanted a badass looking)

and the hardware cloth won`t be removed ever =p
it`s so awesome looking

flyswatter?.... That's the best part!
Let's hear more on that. Cheaper than stun? Longer lasting?
The mod?

You can get electric flyswatters that work similarly to a bug zapper. Put a little more voltage through it and you get the idea.

ooohhhhh!? I think I get it, never seen one. I lead a sheltered life.
