I was bored so i started to design a cannon i called Equinox wich i am planing on building in about 2-3 weeks i drew a diagram in paint post any suggestions you have :D

I might make a propane metering system for it to depending on how much money i can get.

The name Equinox just popped into my head i might paint a Solar Eclipse on the chamber and paint the barrel black with white dots on it for stars :D

this will be my first real project to.

'The gun is almost finished but the project is no where near complete'

Ok ive finished the gun did a few test shots and its looking pretty good now.

- Finish Gun - DONE
- Add Duel Ignition - DONE
- Add Grip With Trigger - DONE
- Paint gun - Not Done
- Make Propane Meter - Not Done
- Add Silencer - Not done
- Add Chamber Fan - Not done

Sorry about the black and white pics i had to do it to get the size down.

Video(Bad propane mix so the shot sucked compared to what it can really do :roll: ): http://media.putfile.com/Picture-or-Video-016

I was trying to keep to cost low for me plus i hate BBQ ignittors so i just used an ignition coil i had layin around i mean if you where going to build this you could use what ever you wish lol.

yeah, It is in some cases, but it also depends on your outlook on life.
