i use deodorant to shoot it and with the barrel i carve out a chunk of apple!
the ignition is from one of those expencive bbqs its rapid fire inch long sparks that go on continuously. chaber as u can c is a gatorade bottle and the barrel is a dremel sawn off aluminium broomstick!
oh this is a chamber photo those are the 2 little nails that produse the sparks... oh and im pretty happy about this gun it is my first
and 250 feet of power with a lousy apple to me is quite impressing i just wanted to see what u thought about me and please post some tips

You shot something 250 ft with that? Somehow I doubt that.
That's a decent gun, this is the first one I've seen to use one of those electric sparkers, I was gonna use one for mine but they're too expensive.

I still admire his igntion system. His gun isn't that bad, he didn't wrap the whole thing in duct tape like I've seen other cannons on here, there isn't any glue sticking out anywhere, this is a very clean gun. He did a very good job with this.
You always have to start small, well not always.
The Trinity Project, big step forward.

So according to you guys, every mini should get a ghetto award? What's your answer to that?

You dumbfucks......
It takes a little bit of ingenuity to take a bottle and a broom then just sticking them together. Not like you can glue some parts together and thread them in. Stop being assholes... it's performance that really matters, not looks.
I've made cannons i wouldn't wipe a dogs ass with because they look so bad BUT they perform well. So why don't you all shut up unless you have something useful to say.

Ben, plz get rid of that so called "award" it's ugly. And only gort has the right to give that out. Somebody should lock this topic.
P.S. How much did your sparker cost? Is it the one that runs off a 9-Volt?

The only thing he may or may not have lied about was the distance and his spelling wasn't nearly that bad. You're just being excessive. Besides, if their was an "implosion" that would suck the ammo back into the chamber. Leave the poor guy alone.

I am not arrogant !?
but seriously, you like the powerade bottle cannon ? you like it ? is it a nice cannon ? is ir powerful ? NO who want to look at these kind of stuff ? a lot of cannon on this forum are not as nice as other but they are OK but a powerade bottle with a pipe in it IS NOT NICE. Someonse post a pill bottle cannon every body is like OMG !? thats so nice. NO ITS NOT. And I am just saying my opinion. If I think that the powerade cannon is ugly than IT IS MY OPINION.
