Haha i tihnk its cute that you call him franklin in front of his big macho friends.

If that had happened in real life i could see him going "shut up guys, its nothing. Just leave me alone ok"

Now that's a different look. It does have sort-of a dressed-up but tough snub-nosed look to it. I think it's the all metal construction. You could almost use it as a walking cane..

Nooow, how about a little shooting and damage video?

Haven't seen an orange cannon in a long time, nice job.

What pressures have you been taking it up to?

The gun looks great as it is, but it could benefit from a longer barrel. You also could replace the ball valve with a modified sprinkler valve. Maybe a mini-project for you and Frank?

Hey can you post some vids? Shooting vids, damage... and dry fire... I want to build some Over and Under design based on Ball Valve.

What are you asking for?
I really don't understand.
The performance is nothing spectacular and its really quite simple.
this cannon could easily be adapted for over under using 2 elbows.

@frandrede: I dont wanna know how he built... I wanna know it´s performance... damage. I KNOW that the ball valve fail a lot in comparison of Sprinkler, Piston and else. Here I don´t have easy access to Sprinkler or QEV. So I want to compare the performance of the ball valve versus the price of QEV.

*Edit: I found at Youtube something to compare... thanks.

I wonder if JSR's foot-phobia would apply to Karen if she posted pics with her feet in them like so many people do. Maybe he even has a foot fetish if it's a woman's feet.

Haha thats kind of weird. I would say girl foot would be ok...

KRN · Thu Jul 24, 2008 12:34 am

He obviously did not bother reading the thread. He instead deciding this would be a good place to ask his personal question.

He's also Brazilian, so is probably doing his best with english.

Seems he speaks decent english. Broken, yes. But he could atleast read through the read.
