not much to say here its just a 3" x 12" chamber & a 1.5" x 36" barrel

it was my first so it was harspray activated by a BBQ ignightor.

i think i might convert it into a propaine one which would take 2 seconds.

easy and simple.

The reason for the wood is so that i can stick it into a slot i got and it opens and shuts way faster than if you were to

1) unscrew
2) spray into it
3) re-cap

now i only need 2 do is hut a button and its off and spray and hit the button aggin and its on = way faster.

i suggest you look around this site and go to spud wiki to find more info. You should try to understand how a cannon works and how to safely build one so that you wont get hurt or hurt others. And yes they're powerful and will go pretty far.

Spudstuff, it seems like all you ever say to new people are insults and put-downs. Lay off.

well this entire site is dedicated to spudguns, so if there was a cannon on the this site wouldn't it be pretty obvious that it shoots spuds, whats the name of this site again.. SPUDFILES!

in short, you dont need to state the obvious
be sure to check out my <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/ak-styl ... 9.html">AK Styled Vortex Gun</a> and my <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/at-4-t9627.html">AT-4 Rocket</a>

upcoming projects... finalized clip fed BBMG and ball point pen sniper
