The Cheap One

[Explosions-R-Us]

Here's my first pneumatic gun. It has a 40" 1.5" chamber. I have a Lawn Genie Model 54004 on it right now, unmodded. I know I need to mod it, but I'm waiting for the cash to come in. Right now, I use either the 1" barrel for potatos or batteries, or the 1/2" barrel for marbles. This thing can shoot just as far, if not farther than my combustion. (Modeled after the Green Hornet for AdvancedSpuds with a few differences) I had most of the pipe, so the whole gun, including the sprinkler valve cost under $20. I know the marble barrel is short and bent, but the lady gave me 6.5ft and I could only salvage around 5ft, it was bent so bad. Included are some damage pics with a Fisher Price picnic table. First shot was just a potato from the 1", and second is with a marble in the 1/2". Both were with 90 psi.

This is a good first Cannon. I like the way you did the trigering inside a pipe instead of a project box. Are the batteries in the fish food thing. It looks very ghetto. Word 8)

[Explosions-R-Us]

Yeah, just ghetto rigged it till it's modded.
Batteries are in the yellow container- 3 9v's.

Looking sweet, Keep up the DAMB good work! I look forward to more from you.

[dannystruff]

definatly keep the fish food container i think it gives your gun character..

[Gorillajoe]

Good job.
Man I bet those marble get going fast in 5ft of barrel. You should paint fish on it and give it a name.

[spud-tom]

what psi do you use,

If the pipe is rated 180psi, how many can you fit in there safely.

[singularity]

very nice gun ,very clean but for the next one you make you should change the chamber to barrel ratio, in a pnumatic a good c:b ratio is anything from 2:1 to 4:1, of course a little overkill never hurt

[paintballuh]

give it a barrel support, it looks like it might crack off any second.

you do know that modding it costs no money at all right?

[spudbud101]

Besides the blow gun, the air hose, hose clamps and various nipples and brass fittings, sure it costs no money at all!

[trae08]

all you need is a blow gun or a 1/4 inch ball valve.
