It's a very complicated gun, not good for noobies.

the biggest problem of that 1 is there isn't a valve so you have to design it yourself

demon, you cant use it in a paintball game, it puts holes through galvanized roofing while running on clide's compressor. the FPS would probably be too high to play anyway.

disaster, i've found there is almost enough info there to build your own, i just cant figure out what kind of fitting/pipe he used for the trigger mechanism. yours might be + or - a few fractions of an inch because everything is custom machined, but if you know what size piping you will use, you just need to work the parts to fit.

ha ha i see what you mean spudshot ,i downloaded the clip but did it make holes in the metal and how much psi was he putting through the thing anyway?
i decided il make that gun when im finished with a quick project that im half way done with, its basically a solid pvc piece 600mm long with a breech loader and a valve system, il submit it when im done

*( :lol: , I didn't make this cannon, way to much macheining and that cannon didn't work)

For one don't double post, two, learn how to spell. There is usually an O-Ring or a small piece of tape in there to keep the ball still but still allow it to move when fired.
