That is one monster chamber you've got on that thing, way overkill for your barrel. I assume that opening on the side of the chamber is where you will spray in your fuel.

Grind a knife around the opening of your barrel. That will make it easier to load potatos into the barrel and they will fit more tightly in your barrel.

I would normally recommend a propane metering system but with the size of that chamber you probably should just leave it as a spray and pray.

Build yourself a new cannon with a smaller chamber and propane metering system using techniques you find on there pages.

If you say that chamber is too big maybe I need smaller barrel or use this size just get it longer ???

I know that propane will be better but It is quite expensive - tnx for idea!!!

yea and about that barrel opening - I know , just I haven't done it jet !

really nice gun, i like where you have the handle with the built in ignition and fan switch, pretty clever. any idea how far it launches your ammo?
and the smiley face fits perfect! lol.

The barrel actually needs to be longer propane metering would actually be grat those bottles almost never run out when using them with a spudgun.

I don't know because I have this gun about a week so I have lots of tests in future... Old gun was shooting around ~ 80-90m (250feet) Maybe this gun can do something more

Without getting exact here, just cut that chamber in half and add maybe .5 to 1 meter of barrel length. You'll gain performance and not gain any overall gun weight.

Propane is only $2.50 US for a 14 oz tank in Amercia, probably a little more expensive in Germany. However, one tank will more than likely last the life of the gun...and will burn cleaner and look cooler..Smile

BTW, why all the screws in the couplers and pipe? Can't you get PVC solvent glue there? A good solvent weld as all you need for these things.

You can trust PVC solvent cement too my friend, believe me. It's a LOT less work. Also drilling all those holes in PVC weaken it structurally.

I do admit those screws give it a certain industrial look...they just aren't necessary.
