so you’ve seen an egg or to on a potato cannon got one and think you’re bad ass. well potato’s are fine to shoot for a while but sometimes you just wanna blow a hole through something. you want power. you need my gun.
so what are you gonna need?
you need 50mm pipe with screw cap and piezo electric ignition. basically a standard potato cannon except it is all 50mm.
you’re also going to need some adapters to take 50mm down to 15 mm. an some 15 mm pipe. and one bottle of green pvc cement. in this we are going to most probably mix pvc parts with dwv but it will not cause to much of a problem if we do it right.
general plan
pre made combustion chamber
ok so now you’re going to want to put it all together get that green glue gee it looks yummy but don’t eat i. trust me just don’t. and glue it all together like so.
and eventually you should have something that looks like this.
i can shoot right now because im out of paint balls but ill make a video for you all soon and i will put it in the forums
=====================================================================================
shooting and fueling
shooting: i recommend shooting paintballs and marbles as 15 mm is the same size as most marbles. they will tend to roll to the end of the barrel and get caught so there perfect.
fueling: i recommend either mentholated spirits or butane personally i use a mixture of both i add one teaspoon of metho then a spray of butane put the lid on and shake it up.
Jun 09, 2007 3:33 am - i have a smaller, more compact version of this. It still has a 15mm barrel but it has a 20mm combustion chamber. It is EXTREMELY powerful. I can put a glass marble through my steel shed, or shatter the marble into thousands of little blue pieces, I love it so.
one bottle of green pvc cement. in this we are going to most probably mix pvc parts with dwv but it will not cause to much of a problem if we do it right.
You should never use pvc cement on dwv pipes its dangerous.
