JSR tends to build on the smaller side, but for those of you with the benefit of land over which to shoot, why notGun Freak wrote:JSR wants it...

Not sure yet. I'd love to but I don't really have the space to shoot it (I live in the suburbs). I could take it to a local park I suppose...
Four feet would cost me $86 shipped to where I live. That's manageable but I'm trying to think how often I'd actually get out and shoot it

Good point. I wonder how many shots a basketball could take out of a cannon like this?
If I were to build build this, I'd also have to figure out a way to plug one end of it. Since a 10" cap costs several hundred dollars, I'd probably use concrete to cast a base around the pipe, which would make the cannon even harder to transport.

I have some plastic sewer pipe sections. 10" PVC 2ft sections, two of them but can get up to 10 for free. I live in UK so a cannon like this would be illegal unfortunately, far too dangerous as the tube is only 1/4" thick and my money at the moment is going in another project so dont have any spare for sealent, im literally 100yards from a field too. I would have made one a few years ago when I never thought of the danger,
10" SCH40....
A quick calculation, comparing 1" sch40 to 10" sch40.
According to wikipedia:
1" SCH40
OD: 33.40 mm
Wall thickness: 3.378 mm
ID: 33.40-(2*3.378) = 26.6 mm
ID:wall ratio: 7.87
10" SCH40
OD: 273.05 mm
Wall: 9.271 mm
ID: 273.05-(2*9.271) = 254 mm
Ratio: 27.4
So the burst pressure of 10" sch40 is...
27.4/7.87=3.84
Almost 4 times LOWER than 1" sch40!
1" sch40 can be used up to, what...? 150 psi?
Then 150/4=37.5 psi
You can use this 10" pipe only up to ~40 psi.
You NEED SCH80 for a simple combustion.
EDIT:
Or metal pipe.
