Geez, that's your cannon???
I thought you were a "newb".
Looks like a great design for PVC.
How will you pilot it (fire the valve)?

Man i will feel bad if this became a "sticky" thread...

We had him. I know we were close....I could smell it. The sound of horses fleeing at dawn must have been no coincidence. He can't be far off. We will travel along the stream. His horse will need water soon, and when they rest, we will be waiting...

Pizlo is going down (for squealing and for being so damned funny

)

As for your cannon Feathers, it looks fine. Granted I haven't seen a cannon with that type of sprinkler valve in a long time. It looks like you're keeping it electrically actuated? So long as you work the trigger down to the handle I'll be pleased. Also it looks like you might need a barrel support.

Next time go for a piston valve. Search it, there will be no spoon feeding.

Not a bad cannon feathers...

And now on topic:

pizlo escaped like a wounded dog. I found him and shot him with a Q-tip. It penetrated deep into his eye socket, and possibly into part of his brain. His eye exploded from hydrostatic shock. However he slid down a firemans pole and ran away, presumably to a hospital. All he was carrying was a jar of primer. I will now be burning down every hospital in the country, then back to looking for pizlo. WERE COMING FOR YOU!

Be on the lookout for an idiot covered in primer stains with a Q-tip where his eye should be...if you find him, kick him in the balls and call us. Bloody traitors, giving away industry secrets.

UPDATE: I was able to masquerade as barney for a kids birthday party and get a chance to eat some of the cake and get some cash I don't think these purple stains will ever come out though. how do you like my routine? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvDbVFB2iUE A few of the kids asked about my eye but when they did I just stared at em and the qtip points right in their direction and they sorta freak out.

Next step is to find a hospital still standing...

EDIT: I found a radio tower and just as I was hacking into the broadcast to tell all the spudding secrets a group of masked men on horseback came out of the bushes, The combat was fierce but I am descended from spartan warriors and was able to kick several of them, into a huge fucking pit. I have a plan now, a genius plan, which I'm not telling you till it works, I've gone through too much already. Just need to find that boat...

do you like my routine we have found your new job of selling totillas on the corner

We barely made it out of that canyon alive...
In my sleep I was shown a vision...A vision of hope . The crew grows tired. Our will is fading into the darkness of night, along with the enemy. We can't go on much longer.

I've done it, I've made it ashore. I was able to swim around until a fishing boat netted me and brought me to... CUBA. American's cant really come here easy, and Fidel is my homeboy. I can rest up on the beach, bleach my skin back, and fortify the island. Plus the cigars are excellent. I jsut hope Spudfiles doesnt have a secret nuclear bunker here...

c11man · Thu Jul 09, 2009 7:05 pm

$h!t how did he find out about our bunker?

Gaderelguitarist · Thu Jul 09, 2009 7:36 pm

I've mobilized the entire East Coast ranging from Maine to Florida. On our war ships we've upgraded our usual clay model turrets to spray and prays taped to tri-pods. Also integrated a primer stain seeking potato system.

Now we just need to get to Cuba...

john bunsenburner · Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:07 pm

Hey if all he makes is clay guns why the hell did he take primer with him?

pizlo · Thu Jul 09, 2009 9:16 pm

We all have little things that help us cling to a frail but reassuring illusion, Fidel said he would close the ports and stop all potato imports, Little return of the favor I did him in the 60's when I was still on Stalin's good side.

yeah im kinda a noob to cannon making but im really good with paintball guns and i saw one like this on the internet so i tried to build it. i will use a momentary button from radioshack and a battery harness (probably 2 9v) in a project enclosure today i got finished with it except for the switch which i will probably fit into a dremeled out trigger frame from a piranah r7 paintball gun there was no leaks, but i got kinda anxious and turned the air up (aiming for 120psi) and hit 110 and the end cap blew off cause the glue was still wet, it was stupid, but i laughed so hard cause it was in my paintball store with my boss and it was kinda loud, but i glued it back on and doubled the amount of glue and am waiting for it to completly dry this time

c11man · Fri Jul 10, 2009 8:58 am

sorry to say feathers but those coupers you have appear to be
DWV. i could tell by the reducers that did not glue all the way into the coupler. the barrel one should be fine but the chamber one might give you trouble.

i would defenatly look into hubs book on the sprinkler valve. it will tell you how to mod the sprinkler and how the one you have restricts flow majorly
