Hello,

Sorry for my bad english, but I'm french ^^.

That's all, I hope you enjoyed it .

PS : Say me if you don't understand some words (I'm french... :/).

hey...

Nice spudgun...

Is it powerfull as pneumatic cannon?

Ahahah you know it isn't !
It shoots at 350 meters (powerfull toughts), but a pneumatic with the same size will shoot over than a km ahaha.

A km with a cannon that size is unlikely

It's all very nicely put together, the cut down fan for the chamber looks like something I'd like to have on my desk

Where did you find how to make a spudgun by the way?

I'm sure you can shoot at over a km with the same size with high pressure rated PVC... (if you put like 250 PSI in it)..

I saw for the first time spud guns with Youtube, and then I wanted to make mine...
I learnt with forums (patator.frbb.net -french forum ^^-).

Nice cannon, I like what you did with your fan
Though I prefer to keep the frame around it so I can squeeze the fan in and that its held by friction.

Also, its nice that you can also use it as a pneumatic.
Why can you only do it up to 50 PSI pneumatic??

Now build one of steel and combine the two at the same time (hybrid)

pretty cool, nice job on the outside of the combustion chamber (with the paint and military look).

also, whats that green light on the top for?

Why can you only do it up to 50 PSI pneumatic??

Because it's in PVC, and it's not pressure rated...

The green light is the LED for the fan .
When the fan is turning, the LED is lighting .
