Okay it wasn't really cheap ... a few hundred dollars in tools, parts, and effort went into building this approximation of the AT4. I think it looks cute.

Orbit Watermaster 1"
Sch40 chamber and barrel with 1.5" pipes
Electric Solenoid actuation
Ammo: Sabot + BBs
Range: Poor ... like an LPEG ... hahahaha.

yeah, Krylon Fusion didn't have an OD Green so it was hunter green for now. I'm going to use that as a primer and then put on OD Green later. Lol. Now to make the stickers.

hey that turned out really good.

What state do you live in? Cabela's (huge hunting store) sells Fusion is flat camo pretty cheap. I just got some and it look great.

Thats pretty amazing looking! If i was going to make one i would make a huge co-ax the the whole big pipe is the chamber but you may be new to spudding and that looks great :D .

That was the cannon in its preassembled form. I had a pneumatic actuated cannon of the same design but it was too much trouble to put in a tube, so the electric went in instead.

@PVC Arsenal 17
So Krylon does make a Fusion OD green. Thanks for the tip, I'll look for it.

@Bluetooth
Coaxials are still too advanced for me. To start with, I don't have a lathe nor know anyone with one. Was thinking of making a diaphragm cannon after winter.

Wow... Now thats a messed up chamber to barrel ratio. That is really badass. I like the 2 AR's in the first pic (if thats what they are). Very nice gun. You did a great job on the outer shell.

A coaxile isnt advanced at all. I made one before I made a sprinkler gun. If you use a 1 1/2in cap in 2inch pipe that makes a great piston.

That is one mean looking cannon.

prof, I think you mean a 1 1/4 cap in 2 inch. You can use 1 1/2 plugs in sch 80 2 inch.
