My latest cannon, the M-55 Mk. III, based on the trusty M-55, it features a longer chamber and barrel, same fan module/control box(not installed in pics), an improved handle design and a better ignition wiring installation, pics show some steps in the fabrication process and the finished product(without fan control/power unit), i know its not a big change from my previous creations, but it's a proven design, that has shown to be solid, reliable and a blast to use, so i'm stickin with my style! ;) Enjoy! :)

New handle design in the last stage of the build...

Cannons to left of him,
Cannons in front of him
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly He rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the Tombstone."...

Braided stainless steel wire protector? And dang that barrel is long!

Sick build, looks like something you would find in TF2.
You know what we want, damage pics/video!
