I told you I like it too, so what's your point??He'd be stupid not to.
He likes my guns too, what can I say..He knows what he's talking about.
PCGUY's got taste!!

I like to have some competition, and I don't really care who wins.
I don't even WANT to win if my entry is not the best.
The fun is in competing, not nessecary in winning.
The goal of this contest was to stimulate the advancement of our hobby, our passion.

I think we both contributed to this goal, wich is great.
I hope more people try to outdo me ( and you!)and I welcome, and challenge them to do so..

Nice gun, but I prefer brians just becasue of the looks.
If your getting chased off a police dog, try not to run through a tunnel then onto a small see-saw then through a ring of fire. They are trained for that!

I like brian's better also, first because of the looks, second because it'sall metal, and third because it's portable, unlike your's, which is basically a pneumatic hooked up to a compressor (don't think I'm "dissing" you or anything).

he can actually get a full magaiznes worth out of a chamber charge if i read correctly. and just for good mesure, i like both the guns, but this one is simpler and simple is good :roll:
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

FINALLY Someone understands simple!


I was thinking about having my own build off, should I do this? anyone can enter with any gun.

That is impressive. Any chance you can tell me (us) how you modded the valve ?

I haven't made a spud yet, but am looking for some funds to buy the stuff needed. Do you have plans of your gun you could share with us ?

Thx already !

so I could enter Brian's shotgun? cool. no, really, would It have to be a new gun, or one I already built?

if you dont know how to build it by looking at it,you shouldnt be building it.
you havnt built a cannon yet so stay simple unles you have skill which i doubt as you dont know how to build it.people who do copy other peoples guns usally use different dimensions and modify it a tad.just buy the parts you see in the pic


p.s UTFSE, use the f***ing search engine

haha it can be any gun, as long as U built it. What should I call this build off?


Oh and MrCrowly, dont be so rude, he's obviously a newb. Instead of telling him he should be building these things, give him a link to a site or topic.

Chill out man. I'm using the f*cking search engine for days now. How on earth do you think I landed on this great forum ? I didn't find it in a back alley :roll:

Anyway, i understand the principle of combustion spuds and pneumatic spuds. I prefere pneumatics, cause of the law around here (I live in Belgium, any "fire"arm needs to be licenced, air pressure once don't) and because of the possibilities they've got. They are much more powerfull (so far the logic in our law, but hey, ... this is Belgium :roll: )

So I understand how it works. I have some skills to, used them on making launchplatforms for my parachuted water rockets (had a site on that item some time ago)

To give you a idea of my thinking, planning, whatever, ... watch these 2 designs I made for projectiles for a spud gun. It are rocket lookalikes, which can use a payload, and I don't mean a small (smoke)bomb with electric egnition on impact, cause that's illegale.

These "rockets" or darts, name it like you want, should fly much further then conventional ammo, cause they are streamlined and they twist like a bullet (to stabilise the flight, to be more acurate, faster, and flying further)

I just dont understand what could be modded on a valve, and how it's done, cause i haven't worked with valves yet

So, here are my designs. It are just idea's, they haven't been worked out like scale-wise :

First one a rocket with side fins to stabilise. On the drawing the fins are streaght, but they need to have a small angle, so the rocket start to twist in midair

The other one has a tail fin. This is easier to shoot, cause ... well, see for yourself

So if I ask plans or how the valve is modded, because i want to learn more about spuds, and you don't like me asking, well, ... bad luck pal. I'm not a small child going around, asking stupid question...

Hehe, we were typing together. I type a little slower in English, my language is Dutch after all (speak German and French to, but not that well)

No offence taken pal.
