AYF Piston Valved Cannon

[mark.f]

This is a little cannon I made to drag along to Abbey Youth Fest when I went to serve Jambalaya to launch T-shirts. Turns out I can't actually do that, but oh well, I made a cannon anyways. I already posted this on SpudTech, but now I'm bored with only SpudFiles to check posts on so I'll post it here also.

SPECS:
Chamber: 3x24"
Barrel: 2x36", 1-1/2x60"
Valve: clone of first piston valve, 1-1/2" porting
Pilot: 1/4" Q.E.V. with blowgun trigger

nice gun...the compressor is nice.how much air can you stor in that thing? I only have a small compressor it doesn't even have its own reservoir but it can pump like a mutha

The compressor holds 10 gallons and the tank next to it holds 11 gallons.

Can you get the Dimensions of a 1/4 inch QEV for me? Not the inside parts but the actual unit.... MCmaster doesnt tell you and i kinda need it.......

[mark.f]

What do you mean, the outside dimensions?

[imablackskater]

that is a nice qev gun to bad you couldnt launch those t shirts

[Velocity]

I think he means how big is the QEV. Like how tall is it, how wide is it, and how long is it. I have the same QEV, but I'm WAY too lazy to go measure it.

And like I said on spudtech, nice gun

[mark.f]

2.14" height, (exhaust to in port), 1.61" girth, (width of bolted body), and 2.01" length, (cylinder port to end of bolted body).

good work man, maybe mount the blowgun into a handle or something
