i know i made a smalish combustion gun 1 foot of 1 inch chamber street elbows then to a 2 foot one inch barrel. i was useing oust for propellant. Then my older cousins start makeing fun of me. O are you going to start useing gasoline in that? Then some how they get on to saying im going to have a son named ttrever and he's a wreck. For some reason this imaginary "trever" eats my dog. I dont know they are dumb.TurboSuper wrote:Most people know someone who knows someone who built a basic hairspray cannon. When I tell them about the more advanced ones they say things like "these people have too much free time...blah blah".
The people who don't know jack squat think it's too dangerous, or compare it to a bomb, or some such.
I wouldn't use gas because it corodes the pvc. and i've done reserch all all types of spud guns. They have only made a simple hairspray spudgun. never pnuematic.

That fire is the reason the pvc turned into "molten goop" not the gasoline.Bubba05 wrote:umm Barrel fire?Bubba
I don't make combustion guns, so it doesn't matter. I prefer pneumatics.

OK but gas is bad for pvc right?
:pottytrain3:
Well can I ask how in the hell would your pnematic come into contact with Petrol? Well viewing the artical that was submited (Hate to sound like a science geek but hello!) Ok this is not starting an argument but food for thort.
There is no way that said poster of artical was able to cheak a molecular change in the plastic. Now if petrol can strip the coular out of ABS and make it quite brittle, assuming that it would to an extent be obsorbed by the PVC and change it on a molecular level. Such a change probly would not be able to be detected. and there was no follow up over days, weeks, months, years?
Now admitting that i dont know wether soaking PVC in petrol would affect PVC in any way!
What I was origanaly getting at that if you are using petrol in your cannon of corse its going to catch fire and burn.
Sorry for any confusion

He checked and compared all the physical properties of the sections of pipe to that of a control group, the gas soaked one was unchanged, where as the one soaked in laquer thinner was destroyed.There is no way that said poster of artical was able to cheak a molecular change in the plastic.
Another test was done, measuring the mass and volume of a section of pipe, and then soaking it in gas and allowing it to dry. They then re-measured and it had no loss what so ever.
Gasoline has no effect on PVC pipe, fire does however.
