Just a special thanks

This is just a special thank you to the members of Spudfiles who helped me design and optimize the Venom to be better than it would have been without your input. In particular I would like to thank Starman for taking the time to review and go over assembly drawings and offer constructive advice in m...

What range do you get with that monster? I'm not sure really. Golf balls go nuts right now due to crappy patches. Oh, but limes are completely insane with how far they go. They seem to go straight up up and away and they are just gone. They can usually withstand the 2X. After I get around to making...

Imagine multiple chambers, each holding their own pressurized gasses yet they get their fuel from a single inlet. Each chamber can have a high pressure check valve in the back, or something along those lines, that lets gas in but not out. After they are fueled, the connecting port is disconnected fr...

Throwing another 2000 bucks in it arent you? Oh no. Not a chance. This will be a very simple, easy to achieve design no matter what. I will do it so it is achievable financially lol. I will be asking for advice and recommendations along the way. Thats how I was able to make the Venom a nice gun, wi...

My largest worry is how you are going to swap and connect the chambers, without leaking fuel mixture, without blowing up and without restricting a lot of flow. Yeah, sounds challenging doesn't it? Thats why it would be really awesome to pull it off and to have it clean and wire free. Back to the su...

Contemplating madness

HEHEHEH! The title says it all. I am thinking about making the ultimate damage vid. Well..at least the ultimate hand held cannon damage vid hopefully. I want to send an 1 1/2" steel ball with a nice, strong sabot down the barrel of the Venom (in my sig) at a nasty 3X. That should send it at 500fps d...

Gas expansion rate?

Hey guys, I am thinking up a cannon and I need to make sure it makes practical sense. I want it to have the barrel of a full sized combustion and the same power, or more than that of a full sized combustion, but with a smaller chamber. I want it to have 6 small chambers so thats why they have to be ...

you could try making a variation of the box'o'truth I still think it's better to have a chrony though - what's 80 bucks ? Thanks. I am actually considering that chrony lol. I had no idea that they were in this price range. I will have to wait though as the Venom has injected its toxins into my bank...

You should plan to get some chrony readings in some fashion. I am curious as your golfball velocity in 2x mode. Wish I had a chrony. I've read about people making them homemade somehow. I'll have to look into it. Maybe gun ranges have them that they let people use. Chrony results is an absolute mus...

yep. Have any better idea? I dont have accsess to tap it. What do you mean no access to tap? You can create what's called "counterbores" on the far outsides. This lets whats called 'sock head cap screws" to sit beneath the outside surface so that it remains flush and the first part of the screw can...

You might be a spudgunner if: you find yourself starring off into space, obsessing over your cannon ideas and no matter who you are with, where you are or what you WERE doing, nothing short of an earth shattering cataclysmic event will bring your mind out of the clouds and back to earth with the res...

Dude that bracketry is badass clean in a sick way. I wouldn't be surprised if they sold a mountain of those things alone as DIY kits. Include a dovetail somewhere or something like that and BAM! Instantly it becomes the ultimate DIY bracketry kit ( well it already is). I don't see an advanced combus...

Fair enough. I can already see it in my head. I can feel the recoil. Its going to be great. It won't be able to top the raw power of the Venom though. I don't care if it doesn't match the power, if you can get this design to work (which I have no doubts about) it would greatly show the potential of...
