When I originally mounted the cannon. I had done so in a rush to accommodate an upcoming event. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/gyro777/IMAG1071_zpsab6238c1.jpg Now were getting back to my original vision. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/gyro777/IMAG2321_zps3e4c662f.jpg Elevation range...

delron is way heavier than uhmw and I wonder... Just as heavy if not heavier than aluminum?

Overkill. I mean... This whole cannon is overkill. Gotta stop somewhere.

Not just that. 1 or 2 psi might be so much pressure that it doesn't recoil.

PS, love the sig.

Hour of calculations. Make a few springs. Build device to measure spring rates. Adjust method of building springs until proper spring rate is acquired. Or. Make a spring.Try it. Adjust rate if needed. There's two ways to build things. Calculate the hell out of it. Build by the seat of your pants. I ...

I'm thinking springs will suffice. I was going to coil up my own from some stainless steel wire. Can't really be sure how how much spring pressure I need until trying.

Good to know!

Sneak peak of slide:

I'll be putting the whole gun on a slide. The stand will stay put and the entire gun will recoil. Parts are started. I'm staying with my box push button launch system. No interest in holding the gun while it fires, no need.

Thank you.

That's about what the NTW-20 has. Slow motion at 2:10.

Enjoy the 80s soundtrack

Good example. I like!

I cut a foot off the barrel. It was way to long. Drew up plans for the recoil system. How much travel do you think it should have? vote now :mrgreen: I'm thinking 4" travel. Nice and visible. I purchased a 400mw green laser some time ago. Bored of it as a laser pen. It will find a good home in the c...

Just a little update. I decided to keep the cannon after all. I have plans for a recoil system, reworked valves, new stand, green laser dot sighting, some skinning to really sexy up the look. Not much time on my hands right now but soon. Soon :alien: Very impressive. Will it be easy to feed it with...

Only problem with selling. I'd have to dismantle it so that it's not a functioning cannon. Too crazy.... Wouldn't want to attract the wrong attention.

Might just hold on to it. Maybe I'll get into it in the off season

I think I need to sell this beautiful beast. It was built for the sole reason to have something to do with my girlfriends son. Well she's an X girlfriend now and the cannon just sits. Getting back into MTN biking pretty heavy. Money could be used for something more relevant to what I do.

Any other good suggestions? Replace the pilot by a safety/pop off valve, add a ignition to the chamber, make the piston airtight on both sides and turn it to a hybrid :lol: should be fine <5x lol........ :lol: Video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhpRFF9HiTY&feature=youtu.be[/youtube][/yo...
