After the cannon was glued and had dried I decided to test it, it leaked like crazy! and then, by accident I bumped it on somesthing and the chamer came completely off, luckily it only had about 20 psi in it at the time. so later I tried to re-glue it-it should work right? WRONG. I filled it to 120psi( it was laying on the groud luckily) and the whole 3" chamber shot 8 feet across the yard, the sound deafend me and I couldn't he for a while, and I got a huge puff of compressed air right in the face! if a joint comes loose on a cannon that you have already glued, don't glue it again!
nah im just kidding but seriously I dont see how if glued properly how it could have came out.
(the river on the other side of the levee is the town line). Luckily, as far as I know, nobody was hurt and no property was damaged.
that's why I am always trying to be careful while shooting marbles... they are bouncy balls when compared with anything elseI GAVE MYSELF A HEADSHOT!

. the glue had not yet dried, but i wanted to make sure i could see the spark through the foggy endcap. I hadn't shot this cannon in a week, so I saw no problem. The endcap blew off along with a shower of flaming PVC cement. lucky for me, i blinked the flaming goo plastered my eye shut. I would have been in huge trouble if it wasn't for my pool. I jumped in clothes on, and phone in pocket 
it got soaked, but im ok besides the purple residue left in my eye lashes. I left my phone in rice to dry over night, i hope it works in the morning. My devotion to the art of spuddgunning forced me to keep working on the cannon. it is now finished, and i shall call her "Hell Raiser 13" the endcap is now secure, and she is firing great. luckily, my dad didn't see, so i shall live to spud another day hoorah! 
If you left the battery in the phone, it's most likely toast. Voltage, printed circuits, electrolysis, corrosion. IF a phone gets wet, remove the battery right away, take it apart, dry the pieces.. let it dry a day or two under a fan.. Then reassemble and test. Leaving it assembled with the battery in it most likely killed it.mikemurph wrote:Today I was working on my new bazooka, i was using PVC cement to glue on a cap. the cap i was using was clear, because i got reaaly pissed and got rid of the last one when i tried to check for a spark and burned my face
P.S.
Its really embarrasing to walk around in public with purple eyelashes and eyebrows
P.S.S.
today was my birthday!
It works, i removed the battery right when i got out, and took it apart as well as i could. It wouldn't have been a total disaster if it didn't work, i got a newwer better phone for my b-dayIf you left the battery in the phone, it's most likely toast.
