Heres my 2nd cannon so far, leave your comments and such.

Name: D.T.P.S Mark1 (Duel Tank Pneumatic Sniper
Type: Pneumatic
Chamber: 2''x40''(131.90 CI)
Barrel: 0.5''x40''(14.52 CI)
Gas Source: Bike Pump
Valve: Modded 3/4'' Sprinkler

Notes:
Bolt Action, Aluminum Support, Weight 8 LB. I got this design idea from the Aussie AUG and the American M-16 rifle to get it a different look. This thing is LOUD when firing it, enough to get the block pissed at me :twisted:.

Thanks for the comments. lol, yeah I had to recharge the air in the parents car so I figured why spend ~$8 on a gauge when I can rip it out of the can :twisted:

dowel rods with a nail through it, melt wax it a mold, ice ( very fun), AA bateries, some markers and the list goes on. I personal like these glass viles i have filled with paint. those are really cool and there is zero glass left after a 110 psi shot.

try the wax. Those are fun and kill aluminum cans. I use ball bears out of my shop class that i found. Those go through any thing. :D

Damn those pellets are expensive. 50 of them for 20 bucks!!!

i think u could paint the aluminum support, and the ring clamps, and possibally cut off the excess part of the ring clamps, other than that that things awsome

Very clean construction, nice paintjob. I think the design is great . It appears to have been built to very high standards . :D
