The Magnum

My new combustion gun uses a candle lighter for ignition and has a 2" by 6.5" chamber and a 3/4" by 10" barrel. I managed to rout out a slot in the handle for 9v battery which powers the exhaust fan. The handles mad from cherry and stained with a butter pecan. The gun is painted with rustoleum chrome. I use butane for fuel felling it through the valve from the lighter which i removed and glued directly into the combustion chamber. 8)

Probably shitty performance but can't fault you on the looks, excellent craftsmanship :) i'm guessing you based it loosely on the Wildey Magnum?

Beautiful work Cardman...love the woodwork :wink: I'm frankly surprised we don't see more of the chrome paint on cannons.

The gun resembles many of my favorite handguns, i based the grip off of the S&W 500 hunter magnum using that weapon all the time on resident evil 5 which inspired me to make this and the barrel just looks cool

as performance goes the gun performs well I shoot snug fitting corks giving the gun a mean sound might post a vid soon

That's gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful. I'd love to see a video of it working, who cares how powerful it is! Ohhh...if it was metal you could hybridize the crap out of that thing.

LOL I totally forgot about that cardman625's kablamoful typewriter XD.

Btw I love that Spud Pistol looks friggin' beautiful... If I were in the dark and I saw you with that I'd definitely be scared XD.

Video your pistol and typewriter too :(.
