This is about our 4th gun I think. This is a really short gun and the barrel detatches for further portibilty. We just hooked up a male and female thread system where the barrel meets the combustion chamber. As you can see we attached handles to it to make it more like a gun. There are no holes drilled in the gun to attach the handles. The handles were attached with expandable foam. The trigger system took a while to get right but it works excelent. The wires are fed through the handle and are inserted through two very small holes.

If any body has any questions just ask.

Let me know what you guys think about this gun.

Thanks

Wheres the gun? I cant seem to see it...

Anyway, nice camo. I must note, seems like a rather odd placement of the ignitor and possibly hard to get into a comfortable firing postion? Good thing you didnt also forget to camo the aersol spray! Nothing terribly ground breaking on the cannon, but looks like a fun gun to shoot that you actually shoot a lot. Seems like the more time you spend on concept and cosmetics, the less-and-less you use such a cannon.

As to the camo I would have first said "Camo fabric you dipsh*t!". Solely because it has a consistent pattern and little "doodilies" that are found on such fabric. After further revision I see on picture "tot 2.JPG" what appears to be lines running vertically which would indicate tape... Im confused :?

umm i got the tape at wal-mart for like 3 or 4 bucks...its was in the hunting section and it is made to go on guns, bows, tree stands ect...I couldnt find the exact product i used but this is similar... http://www.summitstands.com/productDeta ... ?id=329178

im guessing your wal-mart will have the tape

(its not a duct tape, its a cloth like tape)

hope this helps guys
