Pic Description: this is my beloved gun. I know it looks like amateur but it works better than all my friends higher tech cannons. we clocked over 400 meters with an orange the other day.

the way it looks, it looks dangerous, the ignitor is IN the gun rather than using 2 screws for electrodes, and that seems to be a VERY old reducer seeing as how it turned yellow (i saw yellowed PVC today at my great uncle's the plumbing is about 40 yrs old, so i dont think the fittings were that good )

the barrel is mounted with the standard reducer available from my local plumbing shop. as for the peezo fitting, its screwed in and bolted on from the inside, the reducer was purchased at the same time as the other parts and for some reason it turned yellows, its not 40 years old. we know it shot 400 meters cause we measured it

Those look like metric (European) fittings - that's why they're off center. PVC turns yellow after being exposed to too much sunlight. Did you ever leave the piece in the sun? Other than the safety issue, I'd say 400 meters is quite impressive. You must be getting some nice muzzle velocities.

Sorry. Those are Australian fittings, but I believe they're metric.
