WOW! very nice metal cannon. probably the best ive sen in a while. its almost a shame that you dont have propane injection. it would be easy to add but the bottle would ruin the look. you ould make something detachable like THIS

That cannon is beastly!!! I really can't say much of anything for improvement because it needs none!!! This is also the largest metal combustion I have seen besides that one of Joel's.

Good gun!
I would suggest going over those welds again. (no offense, some of those tacs diddnt seem quite strong enough) :D

Also, why did you decide to go with square tubing then round?
How did you make that trigger handle? I really love that end cap! It looks like it would be very quick to open!
Have you considered a fan?

Very well done. I tend not to like metal cannons, but this is one of the few exceptions. Good work, I can't wait to see the final.

Mate dont worry bout grinding down your welds it just adds class to it. Metal is reliable and strong but adding a MAPP or propane tank might kill the feature it definitely wouldnt hurt from a portablility side of things :P

Some damage pics would be bloody awesome. Keep up the good work :thumbright:

Thank you all for good response.

yes, the end cap is quick!
Square tubing because it's so easy to weld 90-degrees angles with it!
Damage picks might come later on.
Propane injection; njaaa. I'm not sure that THIS gun should have it. Its more of a question of building a new one with it. The design (read: end cap position, handle position etc) of this rifle is made for the regular gas injection method.

So I might just build me a new one! we'll se about that.
once again; thank you for the nice feedback! It's motivating.

thanks allot, but isn't it enough with the two handles that it have already?

and concerning shine-ness, i've just finished painting the pipe-body fastening thing all silver and nice. now it's just the chamber left, then it's fully bling =).
