The bit about Kenyans in the first one is my favorite, given that I am a runner.

My friend is coming up with a design quite like yours, but with 3 chambers, and a ball valve on each, not for firing, but so he can use multiple shots, i.e. close 2 open 1 and shoot, then close the one that you fired, open a closed one, and leave the other the same as it was.

Hmmm ok, hopefully I can stop at Lowes this weekend and pickup what I need, as for now my cannon is out of commision then.


I was freezing some ice slugs for this weekend too,

Well now that that solves it! Thank you, thank you, you are way too kind. Its amazing the response time you get on this board.

I am still curious though about JB weld and epoxy holding strength

Do they make 3/8" quick disconnects? I have a 1/4 right now

I just drilled a hole through the double layer of my 3" chamber and endcap, except it is just a weee bit too big to screw in the quick disconnect I got. Would it be ok if I took JB weld, or epoxy, slathered it on the inside of where I drilled, and put some on my quick disconnect, and threaded that i...

What did you use then?

Who would've thought that overpriced cologne could come in handy for spudgunning!? lol

Sorry, I didnt clarify, I am just using the top of the bottle, it has a flat top, and is hollow on the inside, which I probably fill with........... epoxy/ hot glue? lol What are some reccomendation for piloting this thing? sprinkler valve, or any alternatives? I dont want to shell out 15+ dollars f...

Ever since I had built my first pneumatic, my friend Alex has been begging for me to make him one. Since I started on a new piston project, I gave in and decided I would make one for him. The design will be identical to mine in that it is an over-under design with a modded 1" sprinkler valve However...

I just stopped at my local Palermo plumbing supply, and let me first say, wow, a lot easier than trying to find stuff at Lowe's! :-) My new project is a Barrel Sealing Piston Launcher Specs: 2" x 36" chamber 2"Tee 1.5" barrel roughly 42-45 inches long I plan to be using higher pressures than what I ...

Hahahahaha, wow, there is my gun, except smaller barrel, and larger diameter U joint to sprinkler valve

I love when people make me feel stupid. Thanks!

If I wanted to convert my muzzle loading barrel into a breech loader, all I would have to do is dremel out the hole where I will be sliding in ammo, and then take a 1 1/4' union and slide it over that, correct? I really just want a simple breech loader, without having to go buy a bunch of extra pipe...

Is there a link anywhere on how to mod blowguns for better flow? I finally got around to modding my sprinkler valve yesterday and I am still looking for ways to improve my cannon
