Nice cannon!
Congrats on breaking the barrier.
Inspires me for a new cannon using a union.
So how did it sound?
How are you sure that it wasnt the disk breaking?

Aww c'mon man, I have fired the gun before, I think I know what a disk breaking sounds like. Breaking the barrier is like a WHOOSH and the loudest explosion youve ever heard.

Well it was pretty loud when I was right next to it man. I love this gun sooo much, Do you think a 2 inch union will increase performance?

I think you mean that you use a union, that is smaler than the diameter of the barrel ? In that case, you should indeed get a bigger union. It will increase performance.

No the barrel is 1 inch, But will a 2 inch increase performance?

A two inch union will not increase performance,cause the airflow trough the barrel is only 1". If the union is 2" or even 5", it would't be a difference. It will be, if you mount a bigger barrel, but al the rest of the parts between the chamber and the barrel need to be 2 " to then.
