Cool metal gun, but i don't understand what those two other chambers are. Awsome stand, I might make one like it

First, that gun is not metal, it is painted pvc (correct me if i'm wrong), and the chambers hold the air to fire the cannon with. A very slick gun though.

But its a combustion right? or it's posted in the wrong section, Isn't the barrel metal?

Nice paint job, I just realized everything else is PVC :D

Edit:OHHHH, so the chamber can be vented by the air?

It's a combustion... I just checked the original posts on Spudtech...
And after looking on Spudtech the barrel is plastic, bought from Spudtech.

i believe this is timmay's take on full auto, the air is to vent the chamber after each shot, but there is no auto loading mechanism as of now

Awesome very cool gun. All the metal bolts, tanks, gauges, hoses, and wires give it the effect of being "deadly" (in a good way). Very nicely constucted gun but im afraid i wouldnt want one of these guns because if it broke i think it would be a nightmare trying to fix it. Have you ever had it break and if you have was it that hard to fix? Just wondering.

I am more into guns you can hold in your hands and shoot but this is the coolest looking gun that stands on a stand. Nice work.

i agree with almost everyone who posted its an awsome stand and mean ass looking gun looks like it could pack a punch.
by the way what fuel do you use and how do u reload and also how far does it fire?

personally i wouldn't even fire it in case i break it looks really complicated to fix and build
