Sorry are you trying to convince your parents that a combustion and/or hybrid isn't an bomb/explosive? Of course it is - It is just a controlled(hopefully) version!
Wikipedia:
Bomb:
The only difference between say a pipe bomb and a Spudgun is that a Spudgun channels the energy out through the barrel. Let's say you put nails into it and left it a public place. I'd love to hear you explain to the police why it isn't a bomb.

Wikipedia:
Bomb:
Explosion:A bomb is an explosive device that generates and releases its energy very rapidly
Surely that is exactly what happens in a combustion/hybrid?!An explosive material is a material that either is chemically or otherwise energetically unstable or produces a sudden expansion of the material usually accompanied by the production of heat and large changes in pressure (and typically also a flash and/or loud noise) upon initiation; this is called the explosion.

It is a bomb, but you need to make your parents believe its all not very dangerous.
I suggest you building a pneumatic. And then i mean: a POWERFUL pneumatic thats WAY WAY WAY more powerful then any of your combustions.
Show em that and let them choose:
-Burning Propane, launching a spud fast
-Releasing air pressure, launching a spud REALLY REALLY FAST
Just show them pneumatics are more powerful and they might do one of the following things:
-They understand the burning of propane (call it burning, not exploding) is less weak then some air pressure and allow you to build comusitons.
-Get angry and forbid pneumatics too since they are even more powerful then a explosion.

well, i would walk up to my mom with a propane torch, light it, then say " doesn't look like it exploded on me"
or i would just keep building
my dad said no to a propane gun
but, i know that he was really thinking, dont build one with me knowing

Well, technicaly your hybrid can be a "bomb".
Have you shown anyone the official letter from the ATF yet? It says potato guns are not classified as weapons or DDs, (unless you commit a crime with them, or they are against your city limits laws).
I would either wait it out, or attempt the impossible(silencer on a hybrid).
Do you have any friends houses to shoot at?

try building something far more dangerous, and let them talk you down to cannons.
searching for a modern day savior from another place,inclined toward charity,everyone's begging for an answer,without regard to validity,the searching never ends,it goes on and on for eternity

Yes! Build a fusion reactor in your basement! It will scare the crap out of everyone and convince them to let you build cannons again (the best part is, a reactor isn't that dangerous at all, save for risks of radiation exposure, which can be easily avoided).try building something far more dangerous, and let them talk you down to cannons.
Edit: click me
EditEdit: before anyone else links me to the radioactive boyscout please know that fusion reactors are the complete opposite of fission reactors and therefore the story does not apply. X-rays are also NOT persistance radiation.
Or you could build a co2 laser.
