Me and my friends are building a pirate ship. We need to make cannons for this vessel. We have an unlimited budget and we are looking for a powerful cannon. We want to launch tennis balls. We are looking for a dual chambered cannon (for more power) or a steel cannon (for more PSI) that doesn't require melding. We are looking to keep it under 10 ft long. I see many people on this website are very experienced in this field and we are looking for plans to create a cannon. Thanks for the assistance.

For a very powerful cannnon, buy a mauler valve and hook it up to dual 3 inch chambers. Buy a 2.5" barrel from sgort or BC for tennis balls.

Buy a REAL CANNON like one from a pirate ship. And you can get threaded steel fittings so you dont have to 'meld' anything. but 'melding' isnt that hard. atleast if you meant welding it isn't that hard.

lol, that would rock hey! by the way, melding is very hard if you dont have a melding machine! I weld metal with the heat off my chest...

HAhahahhah. Yea welding, melding same thing. If you are willing to assist me in conquering the seas by helping with the plans, can you post on my other topic? http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/pneumat ... t9140.html

Thanks. I am not taking any credit for this project btw, you guys are helping the most.

@andybigfoot2,

Why did you create a second thread for the same topic...?

Should this thread now be deleted?

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

wouldn't a combustion suit the theme better? Flames out of the muzzle and all that...

Also, it's much easier to make a cannon-calibre combustion than it is to make a pneumatic.

LOL, yeah, come to think of it, JSR is right! The only problem may be setting the entire boat alight!! Nice idea JSR! What is a good fuel for big combustions???

Propane or MAPP gas

OK cool, just wanted to know for future reference. thanks though. which out of those 2 is better?

that is awesome you should think about making penetrating rounds if your gonna shoot canoes or stuff.It would be excessively funny if you actually sail this in a random river and shoot at stuff(not people or living things)

the same sort of fuel you'd use in little ones

LOL, thanks, I never make combustions, so I dont know either of the two really! But now I do! (I just did my reseach on the other pages) Thanks though!

Andy if you have a unlimited budget, just buy the biggest combustion for tennis balls from www.bcarms.com he can also build custom launchers as well if i remember correctly.

ah, but half the fun's in the building
