Some new pics, notice the new handle+mock up magazine.
the new handle is alot more comfortable+has a more trigger like action.

the new piston works too!

Just an idea but, it would also look better with a brass 45 degree elbow between the valve and the blowgun. so it would look like THIS.

Actually, thats a great idea, I was planning on doing that on a previous cannon, but my lowes doesn't carryy 45* in 1/4" in brass or steel:/
So I might check my local home depot

Yeah, every home depot I have been to has them in brass and galv. steel. And is the pipe at the end of the gun the rest of the barrel or a silencer?

Very sweet trigger upgrade there. I probably would have dispensed with the fake magazine....however, man your making me want to build one of these... 8)

Wait a minute here...did Karen do these mods for you?... :wink:

Oh and.... this thing is becoming almost too real looking....you may want to think about an orange muzzle of some sort, maybe detachable just to keep with you.

I have a blaze orange coupler is removable for safety.

Karen, didn't make them, but we did talk about them haha
ha and the mock up magazine was only put on for pictures but I have thought about putting an ammo carrier on the gun.
Maybe just a length of 1/2" with caps at both ends.



@blind909
its the rest of the barrel-the silencer slides on;)

Is that stock adjustable, and could you get a pic of the *Barrel Extension* (silencers are illegal btw)

silencers ARE if they can go onto a firearm but the ATF claims spud guns aint FIREARMS[/b]

They are Illegal on firearms, spudguns, and even paintbal guns.
