its kinda funny about the looks, see i went and bought 2 2' pieces of pipe, one 2"dia, one 3"dia... i wanted a handle, so i used what i had... the rest of the chamber pipe! and viola, the ghetto monster that you see there... so a week later when i built my second, i bought some 1 3/4" pipe for the handles... but if i did put propane on this one, the handle would hold it nicely, i could even build the valves to come through the handle so it would be all hidden... i would do this, but i dont like the design, i have 5 penetrations all in one plane in the chamber, none of them are through the couplings, which i feel gives a considerable weak point. that being said im afraid to use anything more powerful than hairspray since i dont think this gun is completely as safe as it could be...(as safe as my #2)...
