At risk of sounding like an echo:
That is kick-ass!!!! I wish I had the ability and tools to do that sort of thing...

Also, the straps are flat kaki, and a ten foot 3" chamber is what is on my cannon, assuming your firing all 4 tanks 
You will definatly need 2 - 1" sprinklers for the chamber, as the single valve is a bottle neck, although you can use a longer barrel to offset a single valve.
This is quite powerful, It launched a slug roughly 250 yards on just 2 tanks, and punctured a metal trash can with a filled plastic water bottle (these shots taken at around 100psi, using the 2" Devastator barrel). I have not fully tested the longer barrel yet.

That is not a silencer, its more of a "shroud" The barrel continues all the way through it. There is a slight leak at the breech but its minimal, I have not seen a preformance decrease from it, at lease not one that I would care about. Like I have said it shot roughly 250 yards.
How did I construct the breech? Ill try to get some pics up. But it did involve cutting oring grooves.

Happy to report the 2" Nerf Vortex fits this baby like a glove, and when fired that round is so straight its on a wire! Im woundering if I can regulate a CO2 bottle to auto-refill these chambers. My concern is will the PVC hold up to the cold CO2?

You should have used better valve, like a 3" piston valve.
But it is a really good gun, you could use one chamber at a time on the paintball feild?

If your getting chased off a police dog, try not to run through a tunnel then onto a small see-saw then through a ring of fire. They are trained for that!
Remember I designed this for use in paintball, not for power. A bigger valve woulda been better for the cannon if I did not intend to shoot it at people. There are regulations on the FPS you can fire at on the field, and trust me even with the 1 inch valve this puppy can go way over.LucyInTheSky wrote:You should have used better valve, like a 3" piston valve.

well, if you are using it for paintball, you should make it so you can actually hold it. it isnt a very practical paintball gun at all.
