How is it ridiculous? Like, the barrel is too big? Or is the chamber too big (I'd choose this side. The barrel could be a bit longer...)

I've measured it w/ water myself, its nowhere near optimum (I didn;t have a longer pipe laying around)

2x hybrid? first: I think that would get to the point where the neighbors will call the police and 2: I doupt the pill bottle will hold up to that. sure sounds fun though lol

Yes, It's buried in the combustion showcase somewhere...

My largest OPERATING cannon can currently be found in the mini section.

My first gun was actually a large combustion. I haven;t actually put an ignitor in the thick-walled ABS monster yet, because I made it before I found out that it;s illegal in San Joaquin county...

So my first working cannon was a film can cannon =D

Wow, thats cool. Get a longer barrel, it'll improve performance.
Your lucky, if I fired my big cannon I'd probably get arrested (against the law in San Joaquin county..) lol
Good job.

PS: the hairspray will eventually "gum up" your chamber and make the cleanout cap hard to unscrew. Happy spudding!

Ok, thanks. I'll be sure to try that in the morning =)

=0 Wow, I don;t think I've ever seen a combustion with what looks like a barrel thats lots larger than the chamber before. I like all the bore size options. (hmmm.. gotta try to implement that in my next mini)
I like it =)

Hey, nice gun there! I like the breech loader, as well as all the extra attachments (the stock, the silencer, the apparent wide variety of barrel lengths).

Lets see some damage pics!

Thats a REALLY nice pneu you got there! I would have tried something like this for a first cannon but large pressure rated pipe is lacking around here =/

Great paint job btw! *highfive*

This turned out surprisingly well for something I built out of sheer boredom.. The nerf barrel was from a project that never really lifted off. It's a length of 1/2" sched40 pvc (this is probably the closest to a perfect C:B I've ever got got a mini) epoxied to a cap that fit perfectly on the chambe...

I'm probably mostly under mini and bb guns. as for "other" I'm working on a resonant MOT stack for drawing big power arcs.

You might be a spud-gunner if you think the local lowes sucks

Eh, low budget tends to do that. It's cool to see a green chamber flame and a blue torch-like flash in the barrel. Dang I should have got a picture of that! It would be soo cool lol

In my experience, the best cannon is the one you know will fire Every Stinking Time. Unfortunately, this is because hardly any of my other cannons fire consistently besides the now deceased film can blaster... I consider this cannon to be an improvement on that, as the the lid has zero chances of fl...

I applaud this mini tutorial. Imagine me clapping so hard my hands turn into two huge blisters. I'm going to make me another mini, got a pill-bottle laying around here somewhere.... Combining the "back-stop" and ammo blocker is original, I wouldn't have thought of that. Personaly, I use Bic "Crystal...
