The schrader has been replaced, new end cap fitted and about 4 inches has been cut off from the chamber.

Whole cannon.

Image
End cap with schrader and silencer, which worked at first, but then i blew the end off and it kinda don't work now.

Image
Waste pipe silencer, didn't work, i don't think.

Looks nice and clean. But it lookes to me to be too big. How long was the gun before you cut anything off?

That's the original length in the pics, i had to cut a couple of inches off the chamber (schrader snaped off and the endcap was araldited on (sealing the schrader)) So i had to get the trusty hacksaw out.

Gives a good punch though, good length i guess, nice and accurate/dangerous with 2.5 inch nails.

Everything is 15mm btw.

:P It's not that big, only about 1.5m

EDIT: Just whacked the tape measure out: Barrel length (muzzle to BV) = 50" (130cm). Overall length (muzzle to end of cannon) = 56" (142cm). Chamber (end cap to end of cannon) =53" 135cm) Bit connecting chamber to barrel (elbow to elbow) = 4.5" (12cm)
