The easiest way for you to go pneumatic with one sp valve would be to get a saftey release valve that only releases at a higher pressure than your chamber would be filled to and thread it straight into the valve. That way you can pull it open with a string!!! :D Hope this helps.

I'm not completely sure because i mostly do pneumatics but i think it's the same as propane. The only difference is that it burns faster. That means MOAR POWER!!! :twisted: I'm not sure what the difference of regular and pro is. Sorry :( I hope this helps. :D

I had never thought about lighting the muzzle blast. That is a good idea and might be safer than having the cloud of propane that could light accidentally. :shock: And it would look sweet!!! :twisted:

Your design will work. I have seen other cannons like this that work. Look in the help section and there is a thread on how to modify a sprinkler valve. You're only problem will be that as propane expands it cools and produces less pressure. Taking shots 2 minutes apart will probably be fine. Just m...

The backpack cannon

Here is the cannon i compleated a few days ago. It will launch a rubber ball over 100 yards at 60 psi. I will soon take it up to 100 psi. I want to add a co2 setup but don't have the money now. Currently pump it up with an air compressor or hand pump. I am also going to paint it. So here it is. Vid ...

Landmine test fire vid!!!

Hey guys. This is my version of the landmine that colty-bear made. Thanks goes to him for sending me the plans very early this morning. I quickly modified them and went to get the parts (also this morning). I just took this vid and sent it to youtube. It's an all around view of it. The only real dif...

Yeah kinda but that's used to load the gun. My idea would actually be for the valve.

Semi/full auto ball valve

Hey guys. I was just thinking and had the idea to take a ball valve (probably 1") and plug one end of the ball somehow. Then make it where you can spin it a full 360 degrees around and around (it could be spun by a small drill for full auto). Every time it turned around to the back, where a chamber ...

Also because of the large extra amount of air shot out you might be able to make it semi auto by use of a piston that pushes a bolt back on the outside of the gun like most semi/full auto firearms have. :D Just for added complexity because nobody wants to have to reload between shots!!! :D Although ...

I'm not sure how many times i have thought about that idea but never tried it. It's great to finally see someone else build it and make it work! :D MY idea for an improvement was to make it into a gun style (add a stock) and have a trigger that fires a nail on a spring to pop the cartrige open!!! :D...

CO2 at Lowes

Hey everyone. I was doing my daily roaming of lowes today and i found in the air compressor section that they sell re-fillable CO2 tanks(9 and 20 oz.). You buy a 20 oz tank for about 30 dollars and return it for around 26. They also have a regulator there that is 100 dollars. That is cheaper than mo...
