i have looked through the video a couple of times now and i have thought of my "toy" hybrid with a 1/2" barrel and thinks "hmm how can i keep the cops away from my 2" hybrid"

your hybrid has a much more grumpu bang like a bomb.. my 1/2" hybrid had a high pich noise like a hand gun.. do you think it is because of the barrel size?

Im not sure why its makes a different pitch of sound
You hybrid has a decent bit more chamber volume and the 1/2in barrel was probably constricting flow a little. Im not sure that it was the barrel size but I cant really think of anything else that makes any sense at all.

And Im going to make another video today to satisfy you spudfarm
It will have a couple 2 by 4 shots in it and all the rest that I wasn't able to do in the current video.

Sounds like you have a leak there :roll:

Also, you might need to find some heftier targets, and maybe capture the muzzle blast as well. Of course, having someone to help out is always good for filming.

Great choice of song though :wink:

Yes there is a rather large leak in the union that is getting quite annoying
Anybody have a good method of sealing one?

The muzzel blast is not the largest thig but it is visable when it is dark so I might try to capture it.

and about the targets, Im out of plywood, partical board and chipboard.
Ive allready blasted so many holes in them with my other cannons.

And Ill see if I can get my dad to help out for the filming
Great choice of song though
Yes that is one of my favorites
Just gotta love that song


And everybody else, I shot a 2 by 4 with bb's in the barrel and got a vid but it didnt penetrate the wood at all :cry:
The same happened with the marble but the marble left a rarther large dent.
Im just wondering if you wan to see the vids anyway because I dont want to go through the trouble of editing them and putting them up on youtube if nobody will care.

Ill try that

I just need to make a larger hybrid, this one just lacks the chamber volume to do any real damage :( Though it is a fun little thing :)
