It also has a pressure gauge in the chamber, 160 psi max. And thank you 8tonsemi for the tennis balls!! Paint job and breech loading still to come!! Comments and criticism welcome. This cannon has all the stuff thats hard to get. Oh yea, you cant see it in the pics, but I am using my doggies pig stuffed animal as a barrel support held in place by a hose clamp!! 
Doggies not happy about it!!

Dust collectors are only 1.5" though, right? In that case, the 2" sprinkler valve should kick its ass with tennis balls at the same pressure.mattyzip77 wrote:Idk yet I havnt really tested it. I gotta put some numbers together for ggdt. I would think a dust collector because its faster. I havnt tried shooting golfballs yet with this either.
Typical sizes are 1, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2 and 3 inches.MrCrowley wrote:Dust collectors are only 1.5" though, right? In that case, the 2" sprinkler valve should kick its ass with tennis balls at the same pressure.
I dont know dust collector valves can have metal chamber and taken probably to 500psi with the right set up.MrCrowley wrote:Dust collectors are only 1.5" though, right?

Nicely constructed! I have a cannon quite similar and they're loads of fun. Buy some 12pk boxes of cheap soda and you'll go through several dozen cans before you get bored

My supplier only had 2 1/2" inch sdr 21 and I believe Soda cans you need sdr 26. I am hovever going to fill some tennis balls with concrete... The sdr-21 fits full soda cansmattyzip77 wrote:A 2 inch port barrel sealer should have out performed a 1 1/2 inch dust collector too but it didnt.... I will post results when I get time to test, prolly this weekend. I would love to shoot some soda cans mr.c but they dont fit!!
I tried the fit the other day, it's snug but if you put like some Vaseline on them they should work nicely. You need to be a member in order to post a reply
