Many people have built mini inline cannons (though no one other than Jack has built one THIS small).

i have been looking around and i can't find one built out ov pvc or is that becaus you would need so many size adapters?

do you mean something like <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~irwinner/mini_ ... l">this</a>

or are you talking about a combustion cannon, its pretty simple to build hardest part is making sure equalization port doesn't close up

Why would we be opposed to making one? I'm sure everyone here would love to see new cannons. So, no, there is no reason you shouldn't, in fact, we encourage it.

but i mean a small scaled down inline like in the spudfiles watermark thing at the top of the page but with maybe a 3/4 barrel and 1.5 chamber? i have never seen one and think it would be sooooo cuuuuteee! lol

are you thinking combustion or pneumatic? either would work, i have a gun that's a 1.5" chamber and 3/4" barrel with a sprinkler valve, its pretty awesome the valve is modded and its a perfect trigger if held upside down (blowgun pointing down) with the chamber on your shoulder. so yes, that would work fine. make one and post it so we can all see.

go ahead, minis are a lot of fun for just shooting around.

and they're great for experimentation, like figuring out how much of a new fuel (say, alcohol) you would need for a given chamber volume. or for portability. and 3/4" barrels are sick because they fit corks perfectly, just stick a nail through and you have simple, powerful, accurate amo.

i made it. it is a combustion, a tiny little inline! it is cute,like i said! but it wont work yet i think it might be fuels or something there is not reason it shouldn't work. ill have to mess around with it. ill get pics when i get around to finishing my homework.

I tried to make one with a 1/2" cpvc barrel, thats small for pvc, I also steamlined it so the couplings wont bulge, and steamlining with brushing is easier with smaller pipe fittings

there it is. my usual fuel (Oust air sanitizer) didn't work in it for some reason but when i put a residual amount of gasoline in the bottom of the chamber and used that bug spray it shot the specially modified arrow the whole length of my 50 foot garage and hit the wall with some good force

o! i forgot the barrel is 3/4 on the outsid not the inside like usual so the barrel fits nerf darts wrapt in duct tape perfect, that arrow has a nerf dart jammed on it flys b-e-a-utifully!

the big orange and red one is kinda off topic, that painted one is my old one not main one i was talking about, i was bored and the fittings went together, watev.
