This is my first real gun (besides minis) I know its very simple, but paint is on its way It has a 3'' chamber and a 1.5'' barrel I use propane after i discovered how annoying liquid and hairspray are. I foung the barrel is perfect for butane cans, pill bottles, and ping pong balls ( filled with fake blood) It has amazing abilities. Shooting an arrow with toilet paper wadding is awesome i can shoot em near 5o0 feet at approx. a 45 degree angle Onto my next prject....a rifle sized cannon with a 3/4'' barrel for painballs and marbles hehehe. ON this cannon, If i added pure OXygen (like a one sec burst) to the chamber whille im fueling the propane, would i get stronger and farthur potato results or catastophic ones?!?!?

probably. unfortunately, it would also stand the risk of exploding. (also, please use spellcheck. :D )

Oxygen would work, but I wouldn't use it in anything but a steel gun. It increases the rate of combustion to something that plastic just couldn't take.
