Plans / designs for a 75mm diameter can firing gun / cannon
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2006 2:01 pm
Hi,
I've been given the task of building a pneumatic gun / cannon capable of firing a 75mm diameter tin (weight roughly 450g) and hitting a target with some degree of accuracy 50m away. The pressure will be limited to 147 psi.
Rather than trying to re-invent the wheel, I was wondering if anyone has built something similar and is willing to share their designs, successes and pitfalls to help me on the way. e.g. what length of barrel to use, capacity of air tank reservoir required ?? etc..
Any information would be greatly received.
Cheers,
Andy
