That is a great gun for using parts that are sitting around! Check the pressure ratings on all of your parts. If they're anything near that of copper, you could take the gun to obscene pressures! I hope to see more cannons from you if that's only your first one!

Prosniper: you can get 1/8" copper from Lowes, its there...
thanks mate for that

Oh yeah, I forgot...
About a week ago I was able to bring it up to about 140-150 psi with my friend's manual pump... The ammo went right threw 3 bean cans
I know 150 psi is kind of dangerous but i just had to try it!

150 PSI is pushing it a bit I guess, but its OK if its only once I guess. (just dont do it often)
What do you usually take it to?

What is a plug?
LOL, but remember, your cannon is made out of copper, and his is PVC... which is a big difference in pressure ratings!

pretty nice- but i'd recommend using a blowgun trigger or a pressure washer handle. i'd be mpre realistic in a battle.
edit 1- sorry, i meant it'd be more realistic.

VERY clean, and nice first
HOWEVER you should try more pneumatics, and thy modded sprinkler valves, THEN! piston vales, and coaxial cannon
