I have been talking about my "big" cannon for a while and it was finally nice enough outside to bring it out for some good pics. ( NOTE: When i bought the fittings, I was told by a Home Depot employee that they were pressure rated and that they would be fine. I now know that he was a complete liar. I'm in the process of getting new parts. So, don't bitch and moan about it for right now :D )

Questions and comments welcome

NOTICE- I sold it today... for about 350% of what I built it for :) Fender Strat here I come :)

I just looked in the album and that is huge.
I cant tell if the endcap is pressure rated or not. It looks kinda short.
what is the pressure range, any specs, a longer barrel would increase performance a ton.
Im going to ignore the DWV and trust that you will reoplace them and say very nice cannon.
It reminds me of the SWAT. Im sure that it had some influence in the making of this.
Good job(minus the DWV)
:thumbright:
and how bought some damage

brogdenlaxamiddie,sounds good.
How long would this longst barrel be, 20ft would probably be suffecient.

and lets see some pics of that door :)

It went through the stuff i was using to hold up the door... I was using some old crab pots... ( for those who don't know, they are these really sturdy wire mesh boxes basically that crabs in the ocean crawl into but can't get back out... They are then eaten :D)
