Its not for the contest. Its just a design idea.

Thats a beautiful model! It nearly brought a tear to my friggin eye. I love seeing this stuff. I love the design. Couple questions...is that a standard return bend or are youn planning on hiring a tube bender? Also, the barrel support looks like its cantilevering too much for sturdy support. Is the ...

Just wanted to update my progress on sabot refinement. I went out last night to do some night shooting and tried some new sabots, and they basically sucked. I will now make a simple mold out of some plastic pipe and glue a golf ball to it and pour in some strong arts and crafts molding clay stuff I ...

Here is my progress thus far in a do-it-yourself version of an over under style Combustion/Hybrid design. It will consist of standard parts that can be ordered online. What is shown is a 3" chamber, 1 1/2" barrel and 2" camlock. Of course that can all be increased for more cost and weight. The desig...

I like the hand grip. It looks like a supersoaker/spud gun! Any chance of video?

So I guess i'm out then. there will be a rule that no production cannons or companies can enter, only personal entries. Because of that? Well so far, it is only a personal cannon. The only thing that makes it production is the fact that you have all your plans etc and can build one for somebody els...

My suggestion would be polyurethane foam. Take a piece of pipe, the size of your barrel, lubricate or powder it inside and then spray the foam into it. pro: very light and reusable cons: need some time to cure Hoooooooly crap. Thats brilliant. Make your own mold! Maybe I could even put the golf bal...

So I guess i'm out then. Well if so, that sucks being punished for making a great cannon. Isn't that everyone's goal? To reach as far as you possibly can, using every resource at your disposal to create something you never thought possible? I never thought I would build something like this. But if i...

I don't know how the competition should be organized, but I do know that a very expensive cannon could really easily lose to a $30.00 cannon. I think that a well thought out cannon with creativity put into it, perhaps with some unique features will stand out regardless of price and resources used. I...

Thats sweeeeet! Rattlesnake, perfect name for obvious reasons. It was cool to see it shooting also. I'm curious to see how this will continue to develop.

I haven't tested these yet, but I bet they work at least better than just the paper towels I was using before as golf ball sabots. The golf ball you see is stuffed in a few cupcake cooking fabric thingies I found at walmart. There are the plain paper kind and then there are also aluminum foil ones. ...

If someone wants one I will get one made for them, yeah. Its not a production model thats for sure lol. As of now its the only one and I hate to admit it, but with the cost it will probably stay that way. I can take the offer out of the sig if that would get me qualified. Other than the sig offer, d...

Is it too late to enter my Venom? My new thing would be a 100% clean (no wires or clamps) design and all anodized aluminum. Thats kind of unique isn't it? Oh, it sort of covers two classes as well. The advanced combustion and the Hybrid. Also unique or no?

And the Lord said, "schmanman, rise and come forth!"

That's gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful. I'd love to see a video of it working, who cares how powerful it is! Ohhh...if it was metal you could hybridize the crap out of that thing.
