Okay here is my coaxial bb gun
barrel:2 feet of 1/4 brake line
chamber:1 foot of 3/4 sch 80 pvc
exhaust valve:1/4 ball valve
Operating pressure:100-140 psi
piston:1/2 inch copper end cap wrapped in a little bit of tape with two layers of bike inner tube for the sealing face.

There is a slight leak in the barrel witch I need to fix other than that it is very powerful it can shoot straight through a metal zippo lighter fluid can with a .177 metal bb. from about 40 feet away.


Whoops just posted this in the wrong section could a moderator please move this thank you

Are you sure that leak you were having wasnt the stuff you used to seal your barrel in there?

Otherwise, Nice. any shots of the cannon in its entirety?

Your epoxy use is... excessive.
Nice gun. Is the barrel perfectly parallel with the chamber?

Kudos on the foot picture though! :D

I'll dub thee twinkle toe. You gun is ok for a first why not give us a picture of it put together? That SCH 80 looks kind of like steel it is threaded.
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.
