Your talking about sch 80..That was DWV I beleive.
Just 2 idiots who had no clue on how to properly solvent cement PVC.
Probably followed the "You dont need primer, you can just prime it in warm soapy water" advice. Some people at home depot are idiots.

Can't soften plastic with "warm" water effectively, it won't do anything. Try it and a combustion will seperate.

yep... read the comments on the actual youtube page for the Stainless steel cannon... someone asked him if he lived in australia, and he said nope. he also claims that he made the cannon. dunno if this really is chaos or not (if ur there chaos, please confirm) but on his youtube profile page he says:
Here i post most of the stuff i make or have seen that i think are kool.
weird? wouldnt "chaos" have also posted his Stainless Steel Smoothbore (SSS) as well?

i smell a rat.
