That's just disturbing o.0

There are several spins on the name, including why it's a launcher not a cannon :)

If that's the extent of your chamber volume then clearly so ;)

Nope :)


Here's a picture of the pipe on the launcher and the machined Tee before I clamp it down with the compression fitting and the JFC:

The olive was secured first using JFC.

the only thing I can think of is something similar to my design but with a homemade air cylinder....

or you use one pipe for both the barrel and the chamber... but that wouldn't make much sense really


lol tell us how it is supposed to work...

I know.

Think QDV, even though hotwired seems determined to keep it distanced from one. Think lots of muzzle energy as well.

How about a nice picture :)

All the hardware is there now but it's still not past square 1. If you can tell me how it works at this point you're doing pretty well.


The launcher is just one half of the system.


My word, is that the time, 5:20am...

Need to sleep, later!

The piece of ammo is about as long as the barrel, if that helps.

So it's some sort of coaxial arrow launcher?

Think it's time we get more pictures or a diagram, no point guessing it's operation, caliber, ammo, pressure and the other half of the launcher for another 2 pages...i'm curious to see the full 'launcher' :P
