Damn, thats nice, how much money did that thing cost to make? here in vegas, copper is expensive as hell.

Well, here in Prescott AZ (Not far from you at all) Copper is reasonable at these sizes. Of course reasonable is different from income to income. This cannon cost me a total of around 40 bucks, though some things were free due to me being a carpenter(blow gun, wood for the stock, and scope as my brothers are really into hunting)

That Is Intense.

It is also huge, why didnt you just make the chamber a slightly larger diameter, and shorten the barrel? then it would have been a normal length but pretty much the same power.

Great stock, i tried to make one,

it failed.

In all honesty, the stock was an afterthought. I had the cannon done and then I decided, "it would look cool with a stock on it".

Had I planned it from the beginning, it would have turned out much more proportional.

Proportional or not, I think it looks great. Major kudos Jook. I would imagine you could get well over 400 yards with that barrel.

Actually, it kind of looks like a musket!

VERY nice gun.....

I actually thought that was real. Be careful with that Lil bugger......

my only complaint is the blowgun trigger. Any possibilities of making that a little more "trigger" like?

Anyway, Really nice gun. I'm jealous.

You could Theoreticaly just move the whole system back and have a Mock trigger which pushes the actual trigger through a rod. so bassicly like a bull pup. (has been stated before)

I know there are things I could do to make it better, there are always things that could improve on all of our designs. I am happy with it and have already moved on to bigger and better things (MUCH bigger... heheh. look at the "In the World of Spuds Today thread for the tease of a damage video").

I did order some of those musket balls that will fit nicely so that should be fun for when they arrive...
