<div align="center">THIRD POWER

Provided By - Ryno

This combustion has a clear chamber, 3" porting, stun gun ignition, spark strip, quad blue LED fan. It has 2" SCH80 rifled 5' long, SDR-21(5'), 5' SCH40 2.5", 1" 5' SCH40 barrels. Metered Propane fueled by schrader valve. I've made some modifications since the pictures. Added project box to hold electronics.

Me and MadPiper were talking about gun names and he came up with one for his and I told him that mine was my clear chambered combustion, or C-3, then he said The Third Power, so that's how I got the name.

I'd like to see a coax pneumatic with a transparant chamber.Just to see that piston pop!
Could that pipe hold the pressure of a pneumatic??

O my hell you kicked up this topic to say "that is cool"? Then someone felt like saying "This cannon is awesome. I especially like the see through combustion chamber."? After that "i all ways like the interchangeable barrels, easy to do, sweeeeeeeeet!". Three totally worthless posts.

Anyways... B the B, I suppose you could make a coax with a clear chamber as long as its sch40. If you recorded it that would be pretty cool. O man this has nothing to do with the orginal post...

I meant a coax with see through chamber.To see the piston pop open.
See through chamber with a store-bought diaphragm valve?? That's about as interesting as a Coke bottle for a chamber...You just see some vapor...maybe...Anyways..

Comments like"This cannon is awesome. I especially like the see through combustion chamber." might be useless to readers, but I can imagine it's nice for the builder of the gun to get some positive comments, rather then just questions like..."is that pressure rated?"Or"is that a Rainbird?"

Aren't we running out of original questions by now??

If you did make a clear chamber the piston might scratch up the walls amking it really ugly after a while. Besides the point, any decent amount of clear PVC will cost a huge amount.
