looks like fun. Is your bedroom a workshop too?
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

If you fix your above post, by adding punctuation, correct grammar, and all of that elitist garbage, I will comment on how nice of a job you have done.
Punctuation is god. Remember that and you are ahead of 99.9999999% of the internets. (Studies show that it also helps unclog the tubes)

I really like it! Lovely and simple, perfect for an easy to make gun in the UK. I have all those part lying around, and I might well put a similar one together at some point :)

no barrel support it was a bit of center but i bent it to get it in the middle, the tee piece is a Yorkshire fitting i drilled a 12mm hole in the 3/4 end cap and soldered the tee in.

I already had all the parts, but i think you could make this for about 20 quid or if you made 3 i think it would be about a tenner a pice

As mentioned this gun really calls for a stock, it could be self made and make a pretty ok getto cannon which would look homemade, cool and still be very usable and accurate.

Ok, i think the rules haven been read alot lately...

Four posts about stocks, I tried saying somehtign else constructive too and emphasizing on the stock idea but the next to post(no offence guys) have no content but taling about stocks, nothign else constructive, really a waste of posting space IMO.
