your chamber is 100 in^2 and your barrel is 196 in^2 for an approximate C:B of 1:2

Is that ABS or painted PVC? I would like to know where you got the 2.5" pipe. I went to Home Depot who told me I was crazy.

it is painted PVC becouse i think ABS pipe doesn´t exist here in japan o.O, I could not find ABS pipe anywhere... And I don´t know but,It was very easy for me to find the 2.5" pipe...

Home Depot won't sell 2.5 pipe. You'll probably have to order it online from BC Arms here

It looks like a GREAT first cannon. Most people don't put that amount of work into their first creations...
BTW, some of those fittings aren't pressure rated, but that is A-OK for a combustion cannon. Just telling you before you decide to go building any pneumatics.

That's a nice first cannon, better than mine I must say, though that doesn't take much now that I think about it. So for right now how do you measure the propane?

thanks man, for now i am using the old method yet, spraying and shooting, but not with a hair spray, I´m using a propane spray...
But when i get some money i will put a propane meter...
