C19o's 1.5" Barrel Sealing Golfball Gun

[c19o]

I havent posted any of my cannons lately so im putting this one up.

Main Features :
1.5" Porting barrel sealing valve
Breech loading
Enough backspin for a golfball to bounce off water 800ft away
FPS: estimated at 400 - 500 , GGDT says around 630FPS

I'll have a sprinkler valve, or a new 1/2" porting valve on it instead of the ball valve soon, and some new damage vids soon!

Heres some pics and a small vid i took with my phone.

This was at 80psi, there is a dramatic power increase when it is at 125psi but our compressor hose has a tear in it.

These were from shooting table legs wrapped in ducktape at a metal sign, and also a d size battery.





Tell me what you think!

UPDATE:

I took some pics of the computer i shot and here they are, also a new video but i set the backspin too high so it hit the trees on the other side not the water like i intended.

The metal plate with the circuit board on it was attatched to the other metal plate, i shot them from both sides.











NOTE: The quality if the vid isnt so good because i took it with my phone

Very nice work, Did you lathe the o-ring groves?
And what is the piston made from?

Peace,

[c19o]

Nope, i used a drill with some tape on it. Heres a pic of it with the o-rings off.

[e1337]

Ahh. Very good idea. I have to try that sometime. Thick or thin tape?
WHats the piston made of?

-E1337

[c19o]

i used alot of thin, clear tape so that i get the perfect fit. I think its a 1 1/4" coupler i forgot or 1 1/2".

[e1337]

I think It has to be 1 1/4" Coupler. (Fits snug in 2" sch 40.)
Whats that between the sealing face and the coupler?

Nice cannon. How did you get those grooves? Mind explaining this tape thing?

[c19o]

Well i took the bare coupler, and a drill. Turned the drill and let some tape spin onto it. stuck the coupler on and spun some more tape until i had a snug fit,then used a knife, xacto knive, and a small, sharp screw driver to cut the grooves.

Ah right, I getcha. Very cool, yet ghetto

[c19o]

Yea i had to hold the drill button with my toe lol

Thats a nice huge gun! I hope golfballs don't fly over the Mississippi river from Arkansas and hit me in the head. If they ever do, I will know who it was.

Yea i had to hold the drill button with my toe lol

Which also features in your photos *sigh*

Nice effort though, i bet property values in your area are plummeting

[c19o]

I updated the first post with a few damage pics and a new video, more to come soon when i get a sprinkler valve on this and a breechload thats not 5" from the valve. (golfballs chip the pipe as they go out )
