Vid up!!



( warning, explicit lyrics.. :shock: )

22 bar, refilled redbullcan ( 300 grams) projectile.

earlier shot wrecked the target, this time the redbull can lost to a thicker piece of wood.
Still...my coworker, who weighs 100 kg, while holding a 20 kg cannon shocks back and has to refind his footing.Eventhough he was prepared for what was coming ( shot it before) and braced himself ( his words)
Notice that vapour cloud that shoots up the wall...


22 bar is just 2/3 of it's capability....and solid brass doorknobs fit just right.. :D

Are you sure the redbull can even survived the launch? It looked like it might have torn open before it hit the target.

I wish I could get away with that where I work!

(mount it on the forklift)

I think I have to essentially agree with the explicit lyrics (although I seem to have a built in swear filter, so my thinking was a somewhat milder, but along the same lines) - That's a lot of kick, especially for a cannon of that weight.

I'm impressed - still want to see what will happen if you can gather together all 500 psi though. :D

Im impressed that the paint makes it seem like a pvc cannon yet it fires like a BEAST and to make a 220 lb. guy move from recoil is impressive

LOL " Fooking Hell" :D :wink:

your cannon is just so damn cool though! what could be cooler than a 500psi 2" porting cannon with flames on the barrel?

I need to find a 100 pound guy , who's willing to fire it at 500 psi, with a 2 kg projectile. :D
That would be an impressive sight.

If my movie editor would have accepted the format of this vid, I would have added a comment like:

Don't try this at home...

( find some innocent coworker to do is for you....)

I think he meant to say "How are you filling it. Fridge pumps are slow." anyway....

That is one beast of a cannon! I also want to see it fired at 500psi. I think the flames give it a toyish look, but your are still an awesome painter. It would look better with a flat black paint job.

Though the grammer wasn't the best i have to agree to maggots post. How the hell do you fill this beast? A bulk tank, beccause, as maggot said, fridge compressors are far too slow for this, aren't they?

p.s. I am 120pounds(about)....toobad we are in different countries...

I fill it with the fridge-pressor.Takes a while, but it's cheap.

I also got a CO2 tank, and my brother has a HPA tank ( for diving) so ...any wich way I can actually.
