Make a Marble one. You will not Be dissapointed. Its the ultimate in large Caliber Spudgun fun. The kick is really all the fun.
speaking of which, What do you use to hold the BB in the back of the barrel?

a small neodymium magnet outside of the barrel inside..
A marble one might cause for a bigger pistol shell

maybe a 1/4 ball bearing one..

Remember that the ability to hold pressure goes way up as the diameter of the pipe shrinks. I would wager that 300 psi in this cannon is much more safe than 100 psi in a cannon with 6 inch pipe.
I like to play blackjack. I'm not addicted to gambling, I'm addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.

Very nice clean design, I think it has a really cool futuristic vibe to it.
Not to be a stickler, and I'm not sure why anyone didn't mention this, but... did you check with the mods about the flameshooting video, to make sure it's kosher? I don't wanna be a pain, just thought I'd ask.
