hey, first off I wasn't sure what to call this, and I don't know if this is the right place for it.
Anyway, I had this carboard tube laying around my room and out of curiosity I decided to see if it would fit over the 3/4" pvc barrel for my pneumatic. It slid on perfectly, and fits just right. I took a 1" dowel piece that was originally an old experimental projectile (never used) and stuck that in the end as a nose cone; the fins are just cut carboard hot-glued on.
edit- also, has this been done before?

I think the preasure will blow the tube apart before it even comes off of the 3/4'' pvc.
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

No, it will not blow the tube apart. I have even used those tubes for barrels, and they didnt blow apart.Sticky_Tape wrote:I think the preasure will blow the tube apart before it even comes off of the 3/4'' pvc.

I have tried that with my ½" launcher at 35bar without the cardboard failing.. the results were not impressive in any way, just one of those things you have to try

Enamel paint tends to put a nice shell on cardboard tubes, you could also wrap it with tape. Do a search on PVC Rockets, you will learn a lot.
Edit: I voted yes, it will work. Experiment with the pressures, 10psi, 20psi so on.

"this" being a projectile over the outside of the barrel? Yes, D_Hall made one that used one of these the toy rockets on a more conventional type gun.FishBoy wrote:ok, but has this been done before?
no-limit also made little air powered rocket launchers.

<a href="http://www.papermart.com/templates/show ... gum_60.jpg">(Water activated) Gum Tape</a> Like pic, Is some nice stuff for making cardboard tubes.
Or cleaning up the electrical tape part (Use it instead)
Just put a layer lengthwise around a dowel or similar after applying water from a sponge.
Or wet it and glue it onto the cardboard tube.
I made a model rocket that way once. Pretty cool stuff. 8)
