In celebration of my 200th post here, I decided to make it a canon!
Hehe. This one is a heck of a lot quieter than the ones I've made before. The gun has 15 inches of 3 inch pipe for a chamber, and 40 somewhat inches of 1.5 inch pipe for the barrel, making about a .7:1 ratio. I'm working on a propane meter for this gun, I've been using hairspray because I ran out of Right Guard. The electrodes are 1 1/2 inch bolts, with neoprene washers and locknuts on them because I've had some pretty bad experiences with BBQ electrodes cracking.
