hybrid #2
What sizes are the pieces?sw5amped wrote:Reason is cuz it has a much smaller chamber size than my other cannon.
I look forward to seeing it in action (in pics and vids) or at least reading some details.

"That really isn't a potato cannon anymore, is it?"[/center]

I have a history of admonishing people for not cropping their feet out of photos which goes back several years, this leads to some of the older members doing it deliberately for my benefitsw5amped wrote:Bro i didnt even know what u guys were talking about until i saw the pic on line!!!!

I would have thought this was a more brazen example.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:I have a history of admonishing people for not cropping their feet out of photos which goes back several years, this leads to some of the older members doing it deliberately for my benefit
Nice job, sw5amped. A little more info on the metering setup would be cool.

Hey guys..... sorry i haven't check my email in a few days because of work being so busy but thank you for all the feedback. the gun itself is all one and a half inch schedule 40 steel. it is a total of 32 cubic inch chamber. the union that you see is a three-quarter inch slip to threads. it holds a rigid copper barrel. I have another union that I use that is one inch steel thread to thread. I bought a 5 foot long 1 inch wooden dowel rod that i cut up into 2" pieces. It fits great down the one inch barrel. It's like a wooden slug.
I have a question. Sometimes when i fire a shot, usually a 4 or 5x shot, the bang is very weak and the projectile comes out slow. Is that from a bad mix or maybe my air is too lean or rich. Or do i have to make sure there are no spent fumes in my chamber.
My chamber is 32 ci. On a 1x mix i use 13 psi propane . Or on a 4x mix i use 52psi of propane and 60 air
Talk to me boys

Happy superbowl sunday yall!!!
So i fixed my problem. Come to find out that it was a gauge issue. I was filling to a whole bar to much on the air side. So at a 5x mix i had to fill to 4 bar. The gun shot absolutely mint!! I have it on YouTube. I just don't know how to post the link. Go under steve wells and hybrid#2 test
