Wow.
very nice translation! But there is NO feedback.
It should cost about 150 euro's, wich is LESS than the sum of the parts!

It's my account..
Chappy is for sale because he need the money...TO BUILD A BIGGER ONE!!
He plans on using 160 mm fittings and a 90mm barrel port..

Nah it's the explanation. Actual feedback hasn't been given

Damb idiuts!! ( yes I know how to spell it) :)
only one guy emailed me about Chappy and when I replied it costs 150 euro's I got no more replies. :evil:

Those kind of people don't appreciate spudguns.They don;t even know what pressure rated PVC costs over her in these sizes.
Ready made, most powerfull cannon anyone out here could even imagine, or wait, they couldn't even imagine.


they think it's a bloody supersoaker or something!! :roll:

you want to shoot some petanque balls......(and the french appelation for it isn't really "boulles" which would pronounce as "bool" , that's more the old man's name for the game...we usually say "jouer à la pétanque" which means "play the "pétanque" ".
these balls are huge and weight a lot...
i bet you loose one of your shoulders when shoting them!! :shock: :shock:

I'm familiar with pétanque, merci beaucoup! The balls weigh approx 800 grams, they would certainly kick major ass.

lol, i didn't know you could speak french!! where have you learnt?
I'm sure a pétanque ball would kick your ass like a jet but....would you get velocity so far? sure you'd get a huge 3 numbers kinetic energy lol, but em....i don't think plastic can achieve a great job when going to much mre sophisticated cannons.
