Pretty neat - and I mean that literally, that primer work is impeccable.

Have you any idea of muzzle velocity or range?

Thanks guys, i'm not sure how far i can shoot something yet but i can say that when i added the 8 foot barrel to it theres a huge difference in performance. In the video i have the 6 foot barrel on... Whats amazing is how quiet it is, with both barrels. I dont even need a silencer.

Why GGDT over EVBEC? I know EVBEC makes some assumptions, but I'd be more confident of a good result from it for this than using GGDT.

GGDT and EVBEC are velocity predictors, not people.

GGDT = Gas Gun Design Tool - used for pneumatics
EVBEC= Energy and Volume Based Estimator for Combustions.

Both are linked with the Spud Wiki, under "Computer Applications" (link should be on the main page).

Dude, wangpushup can you PLEASE tell me where you got that type of regulator from? I've been looking all over the net and I can't find something like that. Can you or anyone refer me to a site where I can order one?

Thats a sick cannon and very well constructed, i like it alot.
thanks
