definately doesn't look like a first gun!
this must be one of the coolest looking combustions I have ever seen.

Keep up the good work!

OK, this thread is a year old this month. If you want to ask about the cannon try sending the maker a PM. Hopefully he will still have the same email to get a notification that there is a PM. You can also try the email link in his profile, just click on the authers name in the 1st post.

Chances are he's not watching this thread any more.

How about no.

If you don't understand how to build a combustion launcher then you shouldn't be building one. It's not exactly rocket science (although making one as clean as JT07's does take a lot of effort), and misunderstandings can lead to frustration or accidents.

:lol:

spudgunheroe must be a member with another account joking around.
The way he asks for plans is too obvious.
