Alright Ill make a label for it that says Fake and Inert just to be safe. Thanks for that little bit of info. Didnt see any wisconsin state law against it when I looked but I will do anyways just to be safe. Holy old thread revival Batman! It's a federal law. Also, C4 can be many colors, but when i...

I actually too the gun apart & moved the igniter, barrel & whatnot to a small coleman mini cooler/drink thermos. Barrel out of the bottom, igniter attached to two 3 inch screws, in the side, tips within 2cm of each other. The top is actually the base of the chamber, so it unscrews. I can vent & add ...

First, put a dot of hot glue around the connecting points, about a quarter of the way around for each spacing. Then stand it on the bottle neck & prop it up, then use some 1 minute fast epoxy. It isn't as strong as 2 hour epoxy (the faster the epoxy set time, the more of a crystalline bond, which eq...

I made one similar but with a 2 liter bottle. I took a 2 liter, epoxied a 1.5" ID schd. 40 PVC pipe (4 foot) as a barrel & melted a hole in the very bottom of the coke bottle using a grill lighter in one of the "feet" of the 2 liter. I melted the hole by heating it with the lighter & forcing the gri...

I think it can work, but with cylindrical slugs, as I see the advancing pellet's skirt catching on the head of the next one in line. Cylindrical shaped slugs (for instance .22 LR slugs) & coating each one with Moly lube would make everything move & seal nicely. (This was directed at the original des...

I love it! I had an Amiga 500 mouse exactly like it! Then the Amiga went kaput & got rid of it. :(

I am inspired, going to harbor freight & getting some el cheapo stuff to make my own in 6.5mm!

(I don't want destruction, I just want a blower gun!)

Ack, can't do a chamber fan now that everything is sealed up so I will have to do that next go around.

Instead of packing peanuts, what about soft air BBs? Think they would melt?

Also, I assume chamber fans only work because the heat is so instantaneous that it doesn't harm them?

Well, update I guess. I cut the leads & stripped back the last inch of wire for each lead. I attached them to the blunt ends of two finishing nails, soldered them & put a few tightly wrapped layers of electrical tape for insulation between the leads & the canister/chamber. I coated them in liquid ep...

Coffee creamer granules have alot of surface area for their size, relative to similar grains. Very good burn rate.

Well, since I am lacking matches (LOL) I tried airing it out, putting the wadding back in & using a syringe (1sp -5mL) to meter butane, it still didn't work. I injected the butane, capped it immediately, & tried to fire. Nothing. Tried rotating the cannon, didn't fire. Tried everything else under th...

This is the one I have in my current cannon:

(As linked above)

I bought mine at Menards (hardware/home store) for less than $8.00

Thinking maybe the spark isn't "hot" enough? Dunno, but my cannon won't ignite.

My newest cannon fail... Any help out there?

Here's the vid I made, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/jaythedogg/th_100_1898.jpg Only thing I can think of is that maybe I need to move my two leads to the center & make them longer so they spark in the center of the chamber. Thanks in advance.
