how powerful is that cannon? looks awesome, great job,

my one concern is that the sprinkler valve would constrict the airflow and prevent maximum power. still, sweet gun. especially for a first gun. wow.

A regulated fill system for paintball is easy.C02 bottle to a reg,reg to a ball valve,ball valve to hose connected to a tire chuck with a guage. I built mine from stuff at harbor frieght.That's probably why the hose keeps on cracking on me :( .It really is easy use your imagination.

Before I get flamed for kicking up an old topic, please allow me to explain what brought me to do so:

1.) These forums have that cool little "Random Cannon Thingie" at the top of the page! - And sometimes, certain things just catch your eye, ya know?

2.) This cannon is, without a doubt, truly worthy of further recognition!- I merely glanced at several of the pictures and could not believe how cool the custom barrel shroud was!

This cannon simply kicks ass!

First of all, it's not that old of a topic.
Second, no one's going to flame you. Maybe others, but not you. :lol:
Third, yes, the cannon definitely kicks ass.

You are perfectly in your own right to post in this topic DR...Don't worry no one is going to flame the master flamer if you get what I mean :P
You can dig/kick up these old topics if theyre in the showcase section and you say something useful and worth posting...not like

"wer cn i gt sum plnes lyk thes"

Saying you like/love :wink: the cannon is perfectly fine...if it was my cannon. I wouldn't care if you dug it up to comment on how good it is 8)

Got a new design in the works. I think you guys are going to really like it.

Its pretty involved, but when its working I'll be sure to snap some picks and get em up here.

The Scorpion cannon has been working flawlessly, I'm really glad you guys like it. And yes we use a stand for it.


But wait for the new one..... :twisted:

the more the air and the faster the air gets to the tennis ball the better. as long as you have the valve release at the same time your ok. But boz awesome job i love the attention to detail. It really shows your pride in your work.
