Ooh, ghetto.
It's good, but could be better. Don't get me wrong, it's fine cannon. I hope to see more cannons from you (and maybe some prettier ones :wink: )

Aside from the tape on the camera, it doesnt look THAT ghetto. Its actually pretty good for a first non-pvc gun.
I would take some of the tape off of the bottle so you can see the flash when you fire it.
