Yes, my gun is all metal, but after having my advanced combustion cannon explode in my hands and burn me, I am terribly paranoid.
Aw no guts, no glory. At least if your hybrid explodes in your hands you'll probably be dead or uncoconcius so you won't feel a thing, till you wake up at the hospital if you survived. But yes, i would be paranod to if i had had one of my previos canons explode in my hands.

Anyways on a happier note, I find it clever noname that you used a soda bottle for the mixing tank, just seems so resourceful.

yeah, but i try to block bad things like that form my mind, which is probably why i don't learn from my mistakes (though i don't experiment with oxygen and hydrogen in cannons anymore, my subconcious must have somethign to do with that).

YES!!! Remote ignition! I wasn't thinking about recoil the first time I shot it and the bastard blasted backward (tongue twister?) and nailed me in the stomach.
Reasons I used a soda bottle:
Cheap, it's $1.59, plus now I have 2 liters of RootBeer in water bottles. I would have used a piece of 4" PVC like DR's, but 4" Sch 40 PVC is only available to me in 20 foot lengths, and its $45 for one of those.
The bottle is clear, so I can tell how much more water will fill it before it actually gets in the ignition chamber.
According to Rmich, it should allow me to fill the cannon to a bit more than 3x, which would be my maximum anyways.

I'l probably think of more stuff later. For now I'll set up remote ignition and the new barrel (10' x 1.5") and get a few more pics, possibly one insde with everything laid out so I can describe what all the stuff is for.

its all in the fueling method.

mine is a gen. 1 (doh!) it uses a meter like a combustion and is nearly impossible to get right.
um??? maybe your metering is off, ive had 0 missfires using my JAUSH from 1x mixes to 7x mixes. And the chamber volume is tiny (requires more accurate metering).

Nice hybrid, I personally am not a fan of gen II's, but it looks like u've got a good gun and an awsome setup with ur tree there :P nice work!
