He has built 5+ minis and a small pneumatic. Yes, he is what some would call a "post whore" but mainly he has created several threads regarding his own cannons and responds to nearly everyone. He's just a giving kind of guy.

Make sure to cement any other flow holes, as there are often redirect holes for liquids. Just get the appropriate adapter from a hardware store and put an air fitting over the hole. Thats what I did with mine.
