el perkele by tiniboule (french)
Hi everyone, let me introduce you to my stainless steel combustion spudgun made in France
Name of the spudgun:
El perkele
(means "the devil" in Swedish)
Dimensions:
1st Barrel: 44mm (1.7 inches) ID and 700mm (2'3") long
2nd Barrel: 30mm (1.2 inches) ID and 1400mm (4'7") long
Chamber: 84mm (3.3 inches) ID and 370mm (1'2") long
C:B ratio: 1.92
Weight: 5.1 kg (11.2 pounds)
General data about the spudgun:
* fan to improve air mixing
* LED light mounted on the chamber (just for the fun of it)
* BBQ lighter
* Entirely made of stainless steel and pickled in acid
* Body and handle brushed style effect, polished barrel
* Flame-like & name engraving at the end of the barrel
Performance:
* Gives a lot of sensations (especially the noise)
* Average range is 200 meters, shooting 44mm caliber potatoes
(it's kinda hard to find the 30mm ones :s)
Photos
The videos will come as soon as I find a cameraman.

WOW! One of the cleanest builds I've ever seen. Though I think the combustion does justice to the steel.

I like your use of stainless steel! Looks very good.
Maybe convert it into a hybrid?

Very nicly done! Maby add metered propane injection if you decide to upgrade? What are you using for fuel?
Side note: I'll move this to the combustion showcase section for you.

That is by far one of the nicest steel cannons I have ever seen...you should be very proud. About how long did it take you to get the supplies and make?
Again, very nice work, besides the lack of propane meter, 10/10!
EDIT: Oh, and in the bottom pic, your ignition system looks different. Did you upgrade to a better ignition system? (stun gun, electric bbq igniter, camera flash, etc.)
What is that?!!? For a cannon that nice, you could at least spend $35 on a propane metering system... loltiniboule wrote:fuel= hairspray

That cannon is beautiful...
I agree with STHORNE... a cannon like that deserves a fuel metering system.

Wow! That looks very nice. I'll be waiting to see your next build.
Nice s.s. but be careful not to shoot citrus fruits because they corrode/stain stainless steel (and aluminum). 8)

Still wondering....
