You still didn't say what the dimensions of your chamber were. The length is kind of useless if you don't tell us the width.

I don't think you can get very good opening times with those PVC ball valves. Damage and/or range would be nice to know. If you can get it to 200psi it should be pretty impressive.

And now the same thing in English?

That means that the chamber is only ~28 cubic inches.
That is tiny, especially when the title calls it "HUGE".
What diameter was that socket? I've found that a width of particle board is usually tougher to shoot through than an equivalent width of plywood.

I don't know where you got the idea that this is "huge." 1" pipe is very small... And please try to use correct grammar and spelling.

In my opinion, the title is very misleading.
I was looking forward to seeing something with a 3" pneumatically actuated ball valve, 20' of 3 inch barrel, and a 5000 cubic inch chamber when I saw this title, especially since it is all in bold letters.

The SWAT definitely qualifies for the "HUGE" designation. Others in this category include FEAR, DR's melon gun, DR's basketball cannon, the WaterDawg, and of course the punkin chunkin guns.
I have a cannon with a 12' barrel (the SCTBDC), but it only has a 100 cubic inch chamber, and it is certainly not huge (although it is insanely loud and powerful).
