Man, I LOVE that gun. Im building my first right now, and im lookin at yours and a couple others for ideas...i love minigun style handles and the clear chamber is the coolest thing ive ever seen. I like the lder style of your gun better though, im not a big fan of the fin/leaf thing in the back. Creative though. :shock:

thats a really neat combustion, i've been tempted to create a combustion cannon with an onboard propane injection system myself. nice job on the cannon, really cleanly built. :)
