Nice taxi.

It brings me great joy, (not really), to see more people with jobs, a wife, kids, and more responsibilities take out the time to build spudguns. That means the hobby's catching on. 8)

I got to shot it a few times today, It is very cold here today. I increased the pressure from 40 to 60 psi. It is holding up very well. I made a modification to the end cap. I added a 1" PVC ball valve so I don't have to unscrew the vent cap now. By the time I get the potato in it is ready to go. I did not take into concideration the extra pipe in the 90's in the C:B ratio. I am not going for the fastest or the longest shot. I am just having fun. So far it has shot every time I pull the trigger so I am very happy. Here is a pic of the vent valve. I drilled a hole and used a 1"x3/4" threaded bushing to join the two. The bushing has a lip on it so it is very tight. I also added a little glue just for good measure. BH

hah, ive got all of the above and i even find time to support those who dont have the time to build their own! Dont mean to brag but i like to show my good work and hardworking nature when i can. Im a madman, i pride myself on being a "bust my balls" worker at my full time job, and spud guns.

Kick ass paint job man! that cannon is absolutly KICK ASS! I like how you did the checkered flag look with the yellow and black. A+ on the effort!
