If so call it a “sniper’s cannon”, but just plain sniper shows an utter lake of knowledge. I can’t believe I’m going to say thins but, I’d rather you call it a “sniper rifle” (that actually hurt…) because at that at least makes a little sense! But if you’re not a sniper then call it “the Black Widow Cannon” or just plain “Black Widow”, both of which, in my opinion, sound good.
I will say that that is a very nice looking cannon. I like the paint job, spider’s a nice touch, and the red switch on the circuit box makes me think of the big red “do not push!” button! (Why do they even bother with a big red “do not push!” button, all it does is make people want to push it?)
Wow...I don't know what to say to that other than thanks for the compliments on the paint. It is not a sticker. I painted the main body of the tank case red, then made a stencil of the spider and then sprayed the black over the top of the red.
Also, the laser sight is actually a 500 yard range laser pointer made for construction engineers. I cased it in a 3/8 nipple, then sleeved that into a 3/4 pvc t with end caps. The threaded brass cap is used to turn it on. It had a small button on the side of the pen that I glued down. I then soldered the battery cap on the rear of the pen into the brass cap so when I tighten the brass cap down on the nipple, it pushes into the back of the batteries and turns it on. Sounds complicated but it really wasn't hard to do.
