These are damage pictures from my cannon in the submit pnumatic cannons forum,it is the one that says my first cannon, damage pics.that is the one that I created the valve shown here for
http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... c&lighter=&

the ammo wasa 3/4 to 1 pound metal slug,some 1/2 inch steel pipe,and some pvc ammo that works pretty good

what you do is take 1 1/2 inch pvc and cut it to short lengths(or whatever length you want) ,put duct tape over one end,than fill it with whatever you want.gravel from beside railroad tracks or sand works good.anyway,you put it inside,and put duct tape over the other end.

It perfectly fits a sch 40 2inch diameter barrel,and makes a great replacement for potatos.depending on how big you make them,you can make a ton from a 10 foot long piece of 1 1/2 inch pvc. it punches through 3/4 inch plywood no problem and somtimes leaves almost perfectly round holes

Ok, c'mon dude. This is not theory or an accessory and you already posted these pics with your cannon. Also please stop with the red and especially the CAPS LOCK!!!

i dont see the point in filling the pipe with anything, unless the contents of the steel pipe break through the tape then its pretty much just shooting metal slugs.
i got connections with the modfia, watch who ur talkin to noob.

if you put paper on each side it launches the contents through the paper,and it sperads,like buckshot.or with tape on one side and nothing on the other,you put the side with no tape facing up the barrel,then pour in the ammo.then it is pretty much a sabot.but hey,it works,is relativly cheap,and easy.its not the best design out there,but not the worst.
