Well we all have to start somewhere. Don't misinterpret that, it is a very good, basic cannon, and as you said, it "gets the job done". A thumbs up for you. :thumbup:

Glad to see you finally popped your spudgun cherry =P. Looks like a good first cannon. It wouldn't be too hard to make a handle to contain that piezo you have there and would add alot to the overall aesthetics. Good job. :blob6:
