Well yes this is the smallest combustion on this site, my searches have come up with nothing. It may possibley be the smallest combustion on the internet but i doubt that. It could also possibley be the smallest in the world but I doubt that even more.

this gun was an extreme annoyance to get to work even with my syringe metering. I have only gotten one shot out of it all the rest have not igniteted. This one shot was probably at a bad mix too and only went about 10ft at about 50fps at most but it got me excited that I finally got it to work. then i tried again and it didnt fire :( and it hasnt since.

But here are the specs

chamber:1in of 6mm pipe
barrel:3in of I dont know wht the ID is pipe
ignition:peizo that is removable(why it isnt in the pics)

The gun(the scrader is a removable endcap sorta thing)

I took the photos in the bathroom because there is a lot of light in there and my cam doesnt have flash

And guess what I got another shot off it but this one was even worse

Hmmm... I remember seeing a smaller gun a long time ago that used a washed out ink tube from a BIC pen for the barrel... http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/i-made- ... 12834.html

That thing is small. So how much gas do you actually need?

you said that you are having problems finding the right fuel mix. are you using too much or not enough for the un-ignitable occurrences. also, plan on making the sites smallest hybrid? lol. i think that would be a cool project.

I saw that, this one is smaller
he said his chamber was 8mm this is 6mm although it does look a little bigger beacuse it is really thick.


sthorne:thats a good idea
Ill have to beat you to it :D
