can you give some of the particulars of that gun?
what do you mean?
the chamber is all sch40 2''. for a while it had a ball valve and that was enough to get spuds 1/4 to 1/2 mile. i found that i could only around 1/2 mile when it was at about 130 psi, which is high because i usually shoot at about 75 to 80 bacause it is redicoulously powerful as it is.
the barrel is 16 feet long and is 1.5'' pvc. i use a compresson union for loading.
i recently put a piston valve on it and it is rediculously powerful, i can honestly say i have no idea how far it shoots because its is impossible to see the spud leave the barrel.
if you want distance, just make a pneumatic with a 10 foot barrel and a big chamber.
edit- about 2'' barrel for taters. i find that 1.5'' is better because you can have a longer barrel and therefore, a higher muzzle volocity. also, 2'' is often to big for taters. i find i almost always have a very loose fit with 2''.
"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote
you know you are not an engineer if you have to remind yourself "left loosy righty tighty"
. Anyone have any claims on there guns distances? Any tips on getting better distance? Im really trying to break a quarter mile with the launcher im building now. ( BTW How accurate are the external ballistics measurements on GGDT?)
. However, I do know that 1.5" is too small, and I am pretty sure that I would like 2" better [2.5" is too big]). Hopefully, upon completion of my next cannon, I will be able to verify whether I like 1.5" barrels or 2" barrels for spuds.
. I always have those babys around. Theyre cheap, and dont do much damage if you it street lights, cars, or houses. Also, not to keep asking the same question, but has anybody tested how accurate the GGDT distance tool is? Ive calculated the mass of a tater in a 2 in barrel is about 100g.
