Ive done my little spudgun last week using a 16mm tube barrel from PVC.
Today i was thinking for my next spudgun.
And yes !
A Double Barrel shotgun !!
when i was home directly photoshopped my idea !
The barrel is a 19mm from electric tube PVC.
Under the barrel there is a 16mm Tube with a small 19mm tube over it,
connected to the 19mm barrel. So the barrel can slide into the combustion chamber's 19mm connection piece.
Using a small weller butane refill can for fuel.
And a BBQ ignition to shoot.
Only need something to let fresh air in when i need to reload it.
But this is a basic idea

shopping like a lady !!
Im going to test how much power etc.. the double barrel will have.
Just starting with one gun.
this time bought a much bigger pieces then my first one.
my first gun had a chamber like 50 cm3
And this one has a chamber like 175 cm3 ( 0,175Liter) .
so 3.5 times the power i hope so
and the barrel is bigger. old gun has 16mm this one has a 19mm.
This is basicly the gun.
Drilled a 19mm hole for the tube in an end cap.
Here im going to glue the tube in the end cap inside it self.
Just cut the pipe half away .
Now i am going to find other parts to measure the amount of fuel.

i calculated... it would be like 0.8:1.

Oh, OK cool, I dont know much about combustions, so is that a good ratio?

did you plan that or was that just a coincidence?

Then i started calculating.
