My first cannon.
This picture shows the hole in my pants made by the cannon when I left the vent ball valve open. Good by fan. It blew it to pieces. I have a pretty good
burn under that hole too.
The last picture is of my paint job on my 1 1\4 barrel.

Did you get that big ball valve from mcmaster?
I like it. I like it more than Twitch. Know why? Because he's...an Aussie (I don't mean to start a flame war, but I've been dying to say that for as while)
Are the stun gun wires in the project box, or are those for the fan

And your point is? Aussies are better at everything. Lol dont worry man I wonder about my own culture a bit but currently we pwn everybody else for everything

I got the ball valve from Gort.

The box controls the fan only. As for the fan it blew all the blades off it.
I don't have a clue what the c:b ration is. I'm not good at math.

As I commented on the launchpotatoes forum, very nice cannon. The paint job is incredible; it looked good without it, and now it looks 100X better with it! What colors did you use to paint it? Also, what type of paint did you use? Some kind of spray paint, etc.
Have fun with that beast 8) !

Man, that one shot of the hole being burned in your pants is borderline porn!
What's with everyone doing these nice paint jobs? I'm getting increasingly jealous and motivated to do some of my own.
Very nice cannon, man. Not to mention, I gotta get a hold of a camera. hehe

Dark metallic blue and day glow orange. I don't know the brand because they are out in my shop. It comes in a spray can. I got both a Home Depot.
Thanks for the complements.

If the hole had been about two or three inches to the left it would have been worse than porn!
