Welcome Mike! Thank you for showing intrest in the site!
Hey I dont spend much time here but i do drop in from time to time when im building or starting to plan a project to gets the idears flowing. and to just get a bit of a chuckel... Some of the guys can be Funny and I do enjoy the entertainment. As i See it PC thank you for running this place and i apresiate what you do it must be a monstar of a task and i dont assume it would be cheap.
So do what you must sir. If it keeps Spudfiles up and running so I can get idears or even some amout of entertainment it's all for the greater good.

Thank you!

I think someone already asked this, but Mike; how much buisiness does that site get and how often does a cannon sell?

(link removed)
looks familiar?
Someone has obviously bought one and is having great fun with it.
Just because the proces might not appeal to us and we all really want one, doesn't mean we should be advising Jager to drop his prices!

Wow, did not realize it was so big. A picture of you holding one on the site would help give perspective. You should really paint the chamber, much more appealing.

Might be OK as a kit. Certainly cheaper to ship via USPS flat rate international. What PVC is available sizes are available down under?

Chamber is painted desert camo flat tan. Check out the renegade potato gun guys on youtube.com and you can see them holding it.

With 1000 bucks I could build multiple. Including the machined parts.
Besides that, I think it is way more awesome to "collect" spudguns that you made yourself.

@thread topic
I dont really care about the sponsorship thing though. Sure, it would be nice if it was an useful site for the DIY spudders like most active forum members. But if it gives the cash to keep spudfiles up and running, it doesnt matter to me where the ad redirects.
Till the day I'm dieing, I'll keep them spuddies flying, 'cause I can!

Whoa I saw that site and those prices. When I realized the guns were plastic I almost laughed. A grand for a 1x plastic spudgun is crazy. Now, if it was a fully customizable, all aluminum, breach loading hand held 2-3x hybrid that can operate in both normal and hybrid mode easily, then maybe it would be worth something around that price perhaps.
