This is the first cannon I made where I actually knew what I was doing. My real first cannon was a piece of junk. Its pretty basic. I mounted a bbq igniter in and airsoft gun handle and gave it some camo spraypaint. There are a few different barrels. I've got a propane gun I hope to post pictures of soon too.

that's pretty nice man, god idea with the handle i like it. you probably should have done a base coat all over first then you would have no whit bits showing but all up it looks pretty kool, nice job.

peace

yea you should have put a base coat on and painted it then put primer on and then painted it again and you wouldnt see any white...btw your gun looks awesome i love the paint job but is that shipping tape to hold the handle on???

Sweet. I am glad to see folks making more guns with interchangeable barrels.
About the paint- great job. You can always go over it again and use your first coat as the primer, this way you can hide the rest of the white.

if your not already (i cant really tell ) put some metal straps the big ones are called radiator ties i believe on to the handle that way it for sure wont come off

The handle and igniter are both securely epoxied in place. The tape was on there to hold the 2 halves together when I was mounting it in place. I did the paint in about 2 minutes so I didnt really care about a base coat.
