not to try and show off or say mine is the best but i made a pretty darn good "nub cannon" using a spring loaded bv and some scrap piping you could just look at them in showcase open your brain and start drawing out some basic designs.

We do not like "spoonfeeding" plans, you will need to use your own brain to build a gun. Thinking of something yourself will grant you much more satisfaction and causes you to know what you are doing, resulting in additional safety.
You can read the WIKI to gain 99% of the information you need.

When you come up with your own design you may post it and we will tell you what you can do better.
For ideas, use your imagination, and you could also check the cannons showcase and study existing cannons for ideas.
Till the day I'm dieing, I'll keep them spuddies flying, 'cause I can!

Sorry I just cleaned up this thread a bit so a few posts may be missing.

Drunkii comes from Belgium, English is not his first language and telling him to use the spellcheck or better grammar will have little effect. I'm sure he's trying his best.

drunkii,

Welcome to the forums.

For some good ideas, try browsing through the 'pneumatic showcase section' or you could have a look at a few videos on Youtube. On the homepage of this website on the left hand side there is a 'Random Cannon' generator, which displays a picture of a random cannon from one of the showcase sections.

You could just keep refreshing (reloading) the page until you see a picture of a cannon that may interest you, then just click on the picture and you'll be taken to the topic.

Once you know the basics of pneumatics, you can start getting ideas from real guns. Maybe a design or shape will influence the look of your new cannon.

Very respectful reply MrCrowley. I notice you seem to believe it is better to help the new, and sometimes foreign people, rather than treating them badly.

Also drunkii, go to the search and type in pneumatic sniper. You should get loads of results.

I had mentioned to brother and pocket to clean up their english, spelling, punctuation, etc...I specifically gave drunkii a pass because of his language issues.... I think this was the thread.

He even hilariously responded with "what is a pass"... :lol:

Yes it was, sorry I had to delete your post. I would've just edited out what you said to brother and pocket but that was your whole post :wink:

I just wanted the thread clean of the bickering going on by those two, but don't worry what you said wasn't in vain. :)
