Hey forum users! This is my first cannon post.. Today (New Years Eve) I started my new Golf ball cannon!! It's been a dream for over a year now, and I finally made it a reality!! I should have some pics up tomorrow, but I can't fire it yet, because my mauler developed a fatal crack in the bumper area.. I am going to see about sending it back to Gort for fixing..

The specifications are:

Chamber: 3ft. long, 2 inch pipe, with stock

Valve: Mauler that is piloted by a 3/4 inch QEV, which is piloted by a 1/4 inch ball valve

Barrel: 6 ft. 1/2 inch SDR 21 golf ball barrel

Paint: black.. simply black.. flat black.. haha

Ammo: golf balls, sabot-ed darts, and whatever else I feel like shooting.. haha

Overall length: 8 ft (a lot bigger than I wanted.. But hey!!)

Overall weight: 30 pounds (may be more..)

Initial test pressure: 15-20 PSI, and it was LOUD!!

Pictures, videos, and updates to come SOON!!
