A few moments ago, I posted a question about copper and galv fitting dimensions for the purpose of creating a similar program with a lot more detail. It will be able to design almost any configuration one can come up with (including hybrids). Oh, and the creations in my program will be scaled diagrams.

The program I am currently working on was inspired by the one you posted and it should be finished in a few weeks.

You know, I might just be able to use my leverage in the watergun community to see if an improved update could be swung. I don't know if Scavenger would want to do an update, but you never know, it might work if he knew that spudgunners were interested.

@VH_man: I wouldn't normally mention it, but you've made a mistake with my name several times... it's Joanna, not Jordan.
Novacastrian: How about use whatever the heck you can get your hands on?

...I'm sorry, but that made my year.

That would be very cool, possibly even 3-D. I might learn how to make programs like that when school starts again, I'm taking a few classes on designing computer programs.

Does the program need to be installed on the computer?

Go to the home depot or some other hardware store and find every part that could be used in a spun gun.Or take a look at the cannons that have been posted and take the parts from a few cannons in each catagory like marble pneumatics,advanced combustions,hybrids,minis,etc.That would be good might ake a while but you might make some people very happy.No more lining up pvc on the hardware store floor for me :D

Today, I was looking for my copy of this program and I couldn't find it. So, I come here only to find the original URL is bad. Apparently, I can't find it anywhere on the web. Luckily, I did manage to find my copy (hidden on a flash drive...). For any of you who are interested, I've also uploaded it so you guys can have a fresh copy (or new copy, whichever).

PVC Designer

Just to let some of you newer guys know, this program is pretty basic (as far as designs go) but I've used it since I've downloaded it on just about every one of my launcher projects. It is missing some features (so someone can pick it up and update it?) but it gets the job done and is so much better than MS Paint when it comes to launcher designing.

FYI: I would put this in the Hubb Library but I seem to have forgotten my password and / or login name for the Wiki :oops:

Thanks hubb, but its not working for me. It says an error occurred then it trys to debug it.

Also does anyone know of a decent range calculator, that isn't the crude ggdt range calculator.
