yeah and those chamber arent explosive they just hold the pressure to a point and then they burst it is in my eyes just as dangarous to run around with a 150psi PVC chamber and suddenly you fall then boom its a risk in all cannons! you dont have fun 100% safe :) edit: can`t this be up to the shoote...

And what's the ball valve on the back of the General for? I wouldn't call these things monsters, as they could easily be handheld. The 3" barrel is a rather uncommon feature on combustions, as it makes finding ammunition a bit more difficult. If you can put enough power behind it however, 3" is act...

Useing "Gasoline" in chambers this size is the same dam thing as playing with a time bomb! It is the fumes that are igniting not the raw liquid. Rule of thumb when dealing with gas fumes -- One gallon of fumes equals one stick of Dynomite! Your chamber size is at least two gallons! The only reason ...

Well thanks. I will use the ratio mentioned. The site you have provided me is very thorough. I may use the same system on future cannons. However these cannons are going to have to stay gasoline injected. I've taken precauctions with the "General" anyway. Notice the blast shield around the chambers ...

I would love to switch but those systems are pricey. Especially when I am testing out different variations of width to length ratios and gap design. Basically what I'm saying is these are my experimental cannons and no huge upgrades are neccessary until i know exactly what I'm doing. But I'm appreci...

wow 5 minutes after i post. Anyway, i use injected gasoline. It always seems to work the best. Even better than hairspray. Get a two dollar spray bottle and fill it with gas. It works the best if the walls are sprayed with gas and then let to run down the sides of the chamber. This increases the sur...
