2 inch elbows

I have been looking at all the hardware stores and I can not find a 2 inch pvc threaded street elbow. I have found them on mcmaster but they are 10 bucks, same with launchpotatoes.com. Anyone know of a store and or site that sells these for reasonable a price?

Soda Can Barrel?

I just sleeved 2.5 inch pvc into 3 inch pvc and the soda can fits perfect. I wanted to save my 2.5 inch for tennis balls and I was inquiring if there a different way to make a soda can barrel. I checked "How-To" already and I did not find anything.

If you need the launcher to be portable you could attach the bike pump to the launcher as I did. I have a small chamber and it takes me a 30 seconds to fill it up to 100 psi.

The paintballs: if they are wrapped tight the will stay together and burst on impact, before the game I plan to shoot this ammo at my old mask. I know the mask can probably take it fine but...

At 60 psi it shoots about 100ft, and at 100psi it is somewhere around 250ft. The distance at 60 is perfect for the field I play on, and it takes me about 30 seconds to load and pressurize it. Thanks for the comment.

my first pneumatic cannon

I designed this cannon for woodsball. The field we play on is somewhat small so I did not need to make the cannon much larger. Its launches paintballs wrapped in saran wrap, the occasional potato, and (my friend has a heat sealer) plastic bags filled with colored water. You might be wondering why th...

Is the fan you have in the chamber? From the pictures i viewed it appeared that the fan was external. And if it is external, what kind of fan is that and where did you purchase it? Any info is appreciated. Very nice cannon.
