Hey all, Mr.Russ and I have been working on these cannons for some time now approx 3-4 weeks. I have finally come to a point where it is ready enough to post on here, all I'm missing my barrel, and thats all i need to finish it. I'm Looking at getting a scope for it... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/B-N-30mm-Walther ... dZViewItem
(sorry about the long link)
The Gun:
Chamber: 2" and 25cm Long
Barrel: 1/2" and 80cm/ 1/2" and 30cm long (for the silencer )
Valve: Modified 25mm solenoid sprinkler
Valve Actuation: 1/4" GMC Blowgun
Fill point: Metal shrader (freebee )
Stock: 3/4" (air does not go into stock)
The Silencer:
Length: 20cm
Width: 2"
Holes drilled into the barrel: 30
Insulation: Fine steel wool
All fittings are PN18 and all of the pipe is PN12 (except for barrel, PN18)
Ill let the pics speak for themselves....
The whole gun (with silencer on the ground)
Modified Sprinkler Valve with GMC blow gun, and fill point
My Stock, with shell holding system
My Silencer (used fine steel wool to insulate)
Comparison against a Lynx deodorant can
Looking down barrel
Looking up barrel
***UPDATE***
I got my barrel today and i sealed up the leak i had. I took some more pictures, and have fired this baby and OMG it has some awsome power, will get vid when my parents arnt home (dont think they realised how powerfull it would be)
Front end of silencer
Looking down barrel with silencer
With silencer attached
Normal barrel
DAMAGE:
I was shooting a buckshot of BB's at a card board box at like 45PSI and went all the way threw, and made massive dents in my wall (rents are going to kill me ) Anyway heres the pics.
Entry+exit (might not be able to see the exit)
Wall:
Well heres a video of me shooting it inside (with BB's) and outside with silener and with a marble.
***ANOTHER UPDATE***
Heres another update with more pics, new handle on the barrel, and a thing that stops my barrel from blowing of when tight fit ammo is in the barrel. Heres he pics...
I have got heaps of vids of my gun shooting at wood from 20m + and going threw, but hey are too big to puton you-tube, i can reduce the size slightly but not enough to make a good vid
so i might just put up single vids, and put them all on here.
Yet to come:
Red + Green Dot Scope
15mm Copper barrel (1.2m for $15 aint bad ) And it fits my marbles perfectly!!! So ill probs seeve it in 3/4" because it doesnt fit in 1/2" or sleeve it in electrical 25mm either one, w/e works best .
Tell me what you think, and comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Thursto

It looks very cool. Is that a screw dart I see in the 1st pic? What kind of tape did you wrap the back of the screw with?

Nice, it looks like its coming along great. I can't wait till you've got a barrel,
when you do make sure you post some damage shots (See how it goes against corogated iron?).
Cheers, TSB

We can often do more for other people by trying to correct our own faults than by trying to correct theirs.

Hey guys, i fixed the leak from what i can tell ill pressurerise and submerge in water to check.
EDIT: Fixed my pump, but it gets to 75PSI and the pump starts to leak. I have recored a vid of me shooting a buckshot of BB's at a cardboard box, but sadly wentall the way threw and i have like 12 dents in my wall rents are going to kill me when they find out.
Ive shot a marble across my gully which is about 350m i recon which is fairly good.
EDIT: Done the video its in the main topic now
Cheers thursto

Hey thursto that looks awesome, you should paint it though a nice camo design.
I hope you are planning to use higher pressures.
You got a pretty cool dad too
Well done
