<div align="center">MIGHTY MOUSE
heres my new (and first) diaphram cannon, the specs are 1 1/2" chamber, 3/4" CPVC barrel, and 1/4" npt ball valve actuation. the diaprham is just 1/16" rubber, and i sanded the 1 1/2"-3/4" reducer just enough so that the 3/4" cpvc will fit through, i did the same with a bit of 3/4" pipe. paintballs go flying with this little monster

that is a very cool little cannon
I always found diaphragm cannons a little on the complicated side
good job, though

What's so complicated about them? All you do is stick a piece of rubber beind the barrel, fill through the end, and exhaust.

Everyone always says that diaphragms are too complicated but that's a load of BS. Nice work. I bet that ball valve can hold a ton of pressure.

Quick disconnects fill way faster than a Schrader and they connect on to the air compressor so you don't have to hold on the air chuck....
