This is a build on a topic reply.

I build it in about 1 1/2 hours and it is my first coax ever.

Total length: 99cm
Chamber: 1", 40cm + 20cm galvanized steel
Barrel: 15mm, 78cm long

The piston is basically the one I described on this how to....

The barrel support...

13cm ~ 5.12inch nail dart

Some damage (unfortunately the flyer failed)

It was pretty fun to build this and the power is better than I expected for a first build coax.

Hope you like it :P .

I do like it!
Is it easy to hold and shoot? I get the impressing that if you rotated the wye and lengthened the fill arm, that would make a convenient bipod.

What sort of pressure are you feeding it? It looks hungry for 400psi :twisted:

I didn't make a plan to build this coax, just read a topic on the forum and had the idea. It was absolutely spontaneous.

It sure looks like it can handle some pressure but i only did some test shots @120 psi.

The barrel support is a pice of pipe 4 screws and 8 nuts but it turned out to work really well.

I will add some damage pics tomorrow...

Very sleek indeed! I assume the bottom angled piece is used as a tank extension as well as a handle...?..

Simple, well constructed, good looking cannon! Nice job.

The angled piece is just random because I haven't had the fittings (without using some from my other project) to attach another tee.

I like it even more due to the different look and it balances very well.

Very nice!
I like the chamber setup.

One thing: your blowgun is mounted backwards. It isnt meant to take pressure from that side.

I know, but it does it's work very well this way and it never leaked before.
I don't pressurize it over 120psi (compressor) anyway but as soon as I go higher I will find another solution.

@Totem
if you think this gun is impressive then you really haven't seen much of this website. This was just a spare time build and the guns itself is no more.

To your questions:
You find every possible information to build such a device here on spudfiles, you don't need my help....
Learn, have fun and build a cannon that fits to your ammo of choice.
