Fom, That doesn't mean solid wall is more common. All of my cannons are solid wall pvc, but it took me months to find 3" and 4" pressure rated pipe and I had to buy it in bulk (I'm still working wiht the stuff I bought a year ago). All my home depot and lowes have is cellular core when you get past...

If the chamber is too big, the cannon will be too loud, but there's no real negative effect. For this reason, I always tend to go chamber-heavy. This is not true for combustion guns. A too-big chamber will decrease the muzzle velocity of the gun. The maximum muzzle velocity for a combustion gun occ...

I refuse to accept that theory. I have never heard or seen cell core abs fracture under normal circumstances. His pipe must have been defective or had some irregularity. How many people use cellular core ABS in combustions? Barely any from what I have seen. And its almost impossible to have a defec...

Wire it in a series. Make one of your wires lead to one screw and have the spark jump a gap to the next screw, then on that screw that the spark jumped to have a wire leading to another another screw (just across your chamber) and the spark will jump that gap and so on. Get it? Ill see if I can find...

I used abs glue is not meant for any form of pressure, it is only ment to seal and hold the pipe together. PVC glue is meant to hold pipe together under pressure. It might even work on non-pvc pipe. Theres a Chemical Reaction between ABS cement and ABS pipe and PVC cement and PVC pipe when they are...
