New Pneumantic cannon

[STHORNE]

Are you sure you used epoxy?
Cause the milky color in the adhesive dangerously resembles hot glue...

[brplatz]

i had used hot glue originally but decided that is a bad idea. i only had the hot glue for the pictures.

lol, and the Gatorade bottle wasn't?
not trying to be harsh or anything, but just concerned about your safety.

But yeah, once you slap on a good ol' 2 liter coke bottle on there, it should be plenty safe and FUN

[brplatz]

not a problem at all!

a 2 liter bottle it is! and a bit of epoxy and ill be set.

[brplatz]

ok i fixed it with a new chamber but i have to glue it first.

hopefully i will get an improvement off of this

Word of advice. Stop filling it with air when it starts expanding. I hope your like most people and use your commom sense...Thats why we have it. 8)

EDIT: BTW I like the design... Maybe spray paint some decals on the bottle, I would prefer flames, but thats me. Also...Did you epoxy the scrader valve? Because thats the most likely part to give in and shoot out. Ive been hit by the valve under the same exact cercumstances and lemme tell you, I hurts like a mofo.
Have fun

the schrader is a threaded one. ill see if i can get a good picture of it for you.

ive only brought it to 25psi but for its size its got some great power!

[Darkside 6ix]

Well then again, you threaded it into the bottom which is pretty strong. Well just makin sure cuz I dont want to hear that you died because a schrader valve went through your jugular vaine.

[STHORNE]

Muuuch better.

Now you can crank that baby up and do some real damage! (after you epoxy it though )

[brplatz]

this this baby has got some power! at 75 psi with a wire twisty thingy i took out a chunk from my tree.

very solid with the epoxy and no apparent holes either

Nice cannon! Enjoyed shooting it today lol. I still dont trust that damn Bottle tho. OH and what is the cannon your saving money for? Is that for our quad-cannon??? Better be because im not supporting you with all my money and Ace discounts.

[POLAND_SPUD]

why don't you add a few cm of pipe (or a tee ) between the bottle and the valve and put shrader there ?

[brplatz]

thanks man

dont worry about the cash lol ill pitch in when the time comes!

Agree, but even better, replace the whole chamber by a piece of pvc.

[brplatz]

i would but this cannon is on the back burner atm.

me and sddds13 are working on some new ones.
