High Pressure Mini Co-axial Smooth-Bore
I just finished this little guy, and am totally flabbergasted by its amazing performance. It is not my first cannon, just my first showcased cannon. It is made of 3/4" sch40 pipe, with a metal slurpee straw as the barrel. The piston is just a 3/4" dowel with a JB welded on sealing face. The whole cannon is held together with JB weld. i shoot it ate 220 psi, and just this morning put a nail dart through a quarter. Now time for the pictures:
Whole cannon with scissors for comparison.

Now for some damage!

the macro button, THE MACRO BUTTON!!

For those unfamiliar with what macro does, it allows in focus shots of objects very close to the lens. You shouldn't zoom at all while taking macro shots either.

The macro icon looks like this:

Otherwise I find you post most impressive. I don't see those kind of damage pics everyday. I'd also consider that a large mini :wink:

sorry, i don't hve a camera, these are phone pictures, so yea the quality is bad. Yea i decided to build a larger mini so i wouldn't have to use insane pressures like jsr uses in his pengun, marker gun, and cartridge

Good for you mate :) Glad you've got a perfectly working high pressure gun. Great damage too!

Reminds me of myearly 6mm piston designs :) good job, though as always for small calibred I would advocate higher pressure and smaller chamber.

Any plans to fit a pistol grip and trigger?

thank you, i might put a lever sort of thing like you have in the sketch for your latest semi auto. I might not want to incorporate it into a pistol because it looks so cool now hat ive added a few aesthetic touches along with a suppressor, so i might keep it the way it is now

That's been on my list for a while now, need to find myself a cheapish cane to work with. Also, unless you want to hide it in a violin case, I think you mean "voila" :roll: :D

You should add it to the list ;)
