ouch, not all combustions are that weak... that just looked poorly designed mine would have put the dude in the hospital.

Yeah soda was originally served in drug stores as tonics for ailments like Pepsi was for stomach aches, Coke was for headaches, and Dr. Pepper was for just about everything. A shot of flavored syrup was mixed with 2 parts soda water via soda fountain.

Yeah I'm from the northern part of the US, most of the rest of the country calls it soda but I'm so used to calling it pop. Sorry, didn't think about that soda just sounds weird to me.

It's easier, but I don't plan on re-using the wadding, and wadding adds an extra variable, I found a place that carries the specific type of pipe I need so that solves the problem of flaring.

hmm... didn't know that, I thought they were smaller than that, I'll do a little more research when I get home.

Nothing is wrong with it. I'm just thinking of having a barrel with no hassle loading, just drop a can, shoot a can, eliminating the need for wading as another variable. And since this dollar store I go to has 6 packs of pop for $1.50, it's a very cheap source of ammo.

I guess this should go in the ammo discussion looking back on things...

But since 2 1/4 pvc doesn't exist anyone have any luck with barrel flaring?

Started work on a silencer the other day, will let you know how it goes

I was kinda wondering if 2.25" in pvc is available, around me the stores only carry half inch increments. I was thinkin bout getting 2" pvc and flaring the barrel with actual pop cans and leaving just one end at 2" to put a male end-piece to screw on to my current cannon. So that I had a dedicated p...

I've been contemplating launching full pop cans for a while, just wanted to know if anyone has / is doing this?
