This is my new, fantastic cannon. It is based around a QEV. Unfortunately, it was unexpectedly loud, causing my parental unit to be pissed (EDIT: since remedied).
anyway, instead of another 6,000 words, here are pics (i hope someone gets that)

the whole gun:


the valve to chamber connection:


The barrel mount:




nifty side veiw:


and the trigger setup:


and a few vids of destruction:


unfortunately i hit the weak plastic part, and not the body. darn. it was night out.i had a cool filming setup and im sick, so my voice is funky.



so, what do you think? im sorta pissed with my parental unit, and i have to go to bed *sigh* so i typed this fast. sorry for typos.

Hey
Nice gun, it looks really good
I like that shotgun type look
Nice damage aswell

EDIT: HAHAHA i just looked at your 6000 word joke

it looks akward to hold, but other than that it looks great. the vids dont work for me, i click on it and its just a picture.

I like it. You should call it Steve. Then everybody you meet will wonder exactly who this Steve is until they meet you cannon.

Hi, you have to right click and choose open in new window.

Hi- i was going to boil the handle in oil (how i made the nifty barrel mount) and bend it, but it comfy enough as is. maybe ill do that later. ater grinding the trigger its much better.

Flying_Salt- ZOMG!!! no, way!i was just talking to someone at my intern-ly job, and i said, i need a name, but not a normal name, an acronym maybe. or something like Steve...

great minds think alike ey?

Why the iPod? What did it ever do to you!? LOL, but anyways, i definitely think Steve suits your gun...
Otherwise, really nice sprayjob and all the rest.
*sniff* inspirational... Im going now to build a gun...

That is one of the sweetest marble cannons on here! The only thing that upsets me, I'm buildng a marble gun just like this. (People prolly won't be as impressed...) Mine uses a piston valve though.

I love this! the setup reminds of my paintball shotgun.

Thanks guys, it means alot to me. i was originally going to build something like this out of copper and make it 200 psi or so, but then i ran out of funding, and my prototype piston was terrible. i wanted to get it machined out of Aluminum. and the ipod was dead. bad hard drive

EDIT: crap, i posted this in discussion. can a mod put it in showcase?

how much did this one cost you then?

What size pipe is your chamber?

it cost me: not a penny. it cost my parental unit about 60 something moneys.

the size of my chamber is 1 1/2 pipe with the rest being 3/4.

For us here in the UK - what's a 'parental unit'

Michael

He's from France:)

(edit: don't ask, I think I got his obscure rerferences right this time)

who's from france? im certainly not. im from sunny...colorado...but i reside in Cali.

a "parental unit" is a parent. like mom, dad, formal mother, father. that sorta stuff.
