Here's my marble Assaust rifle. It's my most powerfull cannon TO DATE!!!
Here are the pics and some plans. Keep in mind this is my first modded sprinkler valve. I am really pleased with it, and used a quick connect incase i get a better blo-gun. I used a crappy one today, it still destroyed the drywall i have behind my house.
After tonnes of design sesions in my maths book at school and a brief chat with rna_duelers on how to resize the pics (thanks mate) this thing was born.


OK The build off requires I do this:

Cannon Name- Marble assault rifle
Type of Cannon- pneumatic
Chamber Size- 6 inch long, 32mm wide with an adapter leading to a 25mm handel
Barrel Size- 16mm, 50cm's long
-Pneumatic
--Gas Source- compressor, bike pump
--Valve - modded solenoid
--Other Special Details - Its fully auto!

My cheapish 12volt compressor, or if thats over heated, I use a high pressure bike pump.

You have pretty marbles..... Well prettier than mine. I tryed that design once with a regular pvc tee and it didnt work. But now you have been succesful so i might try it again.
