this is my first combustion mini cannon ive ever made. i simply glued(pvc pipe cement) a pvc pipe to an adaptor i found in my garage and the other end to an old airsoft cylinder. i glued a pen to the cylinder. then i used a bbq ignitor. you can jsut put a soda bottle cap on the back of the adapter. i havent really experimented w/ fuels but i used some cologne and it seemed to work pretty well.
what do you guys think?

Same here looks good. Are you going to give it a paint job? You should make a bipod for it or a stand! Nice work.

Wow, that's the first mini I've seen that actually use PVC.

you take the end off of one end of a q-tip and jam a toothpick in there

I cant get the toothpick into the q-tip so i just break it in half, line the q-tip and toothpick up and tape them

anywho. for the first mini ive been using nail polish in a nasacort spray bottle (nose stuff) i usually just shoot qtips at my little sister but i made some rockets out of sharpies that work pretty good.

Hey the bottle one looks really nice but how do you find airing it out? I mean there is no endcap so it must be fairly hard?!? Nice guns though!
