This is my old coaxial, I've had it for a few months now. The chamber is 1.5 inch SCH40 pvc and the barrel is SCH40 3/4 pvc. I molded the piston out of hot glue sticks and oiled it with gun oil. This is my fastest shooting cannon to date. It can shoot a dowel so fast you can barely see it. It uses a quick release foe a compressor for filling. it uses a 1/4 inch ball valve for exhaust. the chamber is 5 feet long and the barrel is 8 1/2 feet long.

nothing really special about it, other than the fact that it is really powerful.

If the image dosnt work ill give links in a minute.

Maybe the fastest you've made.

Edit:
OK, there it is. I love coaxials, try to make a mini one.

With those dimensions I have no doubt the power is significant.

Imageshack sucks, why don't you attach the images using the facility provided by spudfiles? Either that or get a photobucket account :wink:
