Sorry for my recent absence but I have had little computer access for the past months, I now have some access.
Theres over 20,000 new topics and theres no way I can check them, so whats new in the spudgun community?
I have built a new cannon and worked on my hybrid(needs fueling setup).
The new cannon should be posted soon, but heres some teasers, silenced smoothbore, flat black, somewhat resembles a mp5-S

I'm glad to be back guys

Good to see you again! I too, took a long absence from the forums; when I came back I just started digging in and looked at things that interested me. There is a lot going on now and as always, they are the most popular threads. Check those out and make your voice heard again.

When I started posting again, I was afraid that your mishap last year had put you off spudding (or it had been put off for you.) Good to see that is not the case.

Have you seen Larda's ETG in the pneumatic showcase? It's definitely worth checking out. The size of a pistol, the energy of a .30-06 rifle, and the muzzle flash alone could probably kill you at 20 yards :lol:

Also, I successfully implemented what is likely the first non-volumetric hybrid metering system in this community. Check out "Hybrid1" in the hybrid showcase. Noteworthy for nothing more than the meter, and the massively overbuilt chamber (think 1.75" thick steel endcaps).

Other than that, BtB built a full auto unregged CO<sub>2</sub> powered marble gun and one of the most valuable members of our community came back... Dave Hall.

Haha, not Baghdad, its just that my computers hardrive went to shit.
The new cannon, its just a simple pneumatic with some kick ass aesthetics

The metering setup is pretty much on low priority right now I just need to buy a couple ball valves and a couple odds and ends brass fittings
