this is my first attempt at a potato cannon. I'd say it turned out well. It weighs in at a wopping 22 pounds . :shock: It uses a simple ball valve.

That looks pretty good. What PSI is it all rated for?

By virtue of being your first cannon, it's very nice. The teflon tape that's exposed can be removed with a scalpel or a straight razor if you want to clean it up a bit.

Carl, that metal pipe is most likely rated past 500 PSI, despite what the 150 PSI labels say... it's a matter of the threads leakin.

HAYLO, can you please take some time to make your posts understandable. It took me a while to get what you were saying. At first I thought you were saying your friend fired his gun in china.

Is that not what he said? :D

This gun is awsome.... It looks really clean, just cut off the excess teflon with an Exacto knife or razor, like Drac said...

Next upgrade for this? sprinkler valve is my suggestion

I wish people would stop needing a better signature!

nope. No upgrades for this thing. I'm gonna keep it just the way it is. I'll spend my money on new cannons.
