This cannon was built with several different components that I purchased through Target Zone Sports.

Sporting a 40 caliber Aluminum Blowgun Barrel, Red-Dot Sight and Muzzle Guard, the launcher was finished with components from a local paintball store.

The 40 cal paintball tubes, Quiver, and Semi-Auto Paintball mechanism were added to complete the assembly.

With my 2 gallon compressor's regulator set to 60psig, you can go through an entire magazine as fast as you can actuate the loader and trigger.

Only SGTCSpudMaster knows the answer to that question

Ok well thats what I was thinking, oh well it was worth a shot, and on the topic of your gun. How did you get the blowgun barrel connected to the valve and is the barrel stable with all of that stuff on it?

Well, it's very cool looking "SplatMaster Deluxe"! 1st of it's kind around here, for as long as i've been here anyway. So whats the drop at say 75 yards at 60 psi? I'll guess -- 1/2" to 1".

Its prob more than that, paintballs make junky projectiles and they have horrible flight paths, most of the times spinning off to a side.

Any idea on velocity? I have a PB gun similar (though not as "Deluxe"), except with a 1.5" plugged coupler and bushing chamber, and I'd want to see if there were reasonable differences; maybe I'll try a 2.5" chamber.

Nice weapon. Load it up with those magnum spike darts and it's lethal. I hear PETA knocking again because of a sudden decline in the squirrel population...

Wait....is that a DOUBLE post! :shock: Oh no :x You have a quiet way about yourself, a walk and a talk that just isn't normal around here. You stroll, like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world, like you have on an invisible coat that would shield you from this place. Yeah, I think it would be fair to say... I liked DR from the start. :P


Just can't get enough of the Shawshank Redepmtion can I? 8)

Nice as always DR. Good to see you've found somewhere to "hunker down" while Spudtech is down.
