Well, here she is. Been working on this cannon for a week now, and Im proud to say that it's done minus a schrader valve for my propane system. 4 inch chamber, sparkstrip, chamber fan, propane, 300k volt stun gun ignition, and interchangable barrels.

The stun gun and fan box are held to the gun via velcro, and yes...the stun gun is set up so i can be easily removed for use on other guns. I forked over 40 bucks for this baby and like to use her on my other cannons. The alligator clips make the gun look a bit tacky I know and the gun itse;f is'nt that amazing to some. She's pretty plan and simple, really simple and plain being there's no paint job yet. I plan on painting it black and yellow with a design and logo on her chamber.

The pictures are kinda crappy being I did them with my web cam, and the lighting was piss poor.

Not sure what you mean by "short design."

I cut the chamber's pipe at 10 inches, but after the couplers and end cap it bounces up to about 12-13 inches roughly. And the barrel is 4 feet and a few odd inches from the threaded connectors.

Thanks. I tried to get everyhting to line up right and keep the guns primer hidden, I only got 1 spot of purple on the outside, and the 2inch female adapter at the top has a small few millimeter space, but I tried. I still havent fired it, waiting on my Schrader valve to arrive! =D
