this is my first attempt at a pneumatic cannon. it has a 1" sch 40 by 4 foot long barrel. it uses a 1" lawn genie sprinkler valve with a 2" sch 40 by 2 foot chamber. Besides the out of control primer which will be painted shortly, give me your opinions.
thanks

Please, please tell me you didn't hot glue your accessories in? Other than that nice job.

Very nice

what is the pop off valve rated too (as in when it opens)?

hot glue?? , nice cannon anywhoo, good way to start off.

i had some VERY MINOR leaks after i screwed the pop off valve in so i just put a little hot glue on there to try to seal it up a bit. worked pretty well. the valve is set at 115 psi.

You should invest in some epoxy, I think it will work better for this purpose. Even some thread sealant.

i just glued it yesterday to get a few test fires in. i plan to fix things with epoxy when i get a chance toworrow.

Quite a bit better than my first, which has not been posted here out of embarrassment.

That's pretty nice, I'll bet it has a decent amount of power. What color are you going to paint it?

i think i am going to paint just flat black. it is pretty powerful. i put a C battery through a fence board from about 45 feet at 60 psi.

Very similar to a gun I posted on here recently the chamber is just a little smallerhttp://www.spudfiles.com/forums/my-most-recent ... 12468.html
Good job all together but get some epoxy
