Nice! It's funny but me and you must have been on the same brainwave about how to build a large bore metal barrel.... you build it out of aluminum! How did you attach it to the rest of the gun? That seems to be one funky adapter thingo.

Not the gun, I see why the gun can handle 30 bar, but the pump the most pumps don't survive 25 bar so 30 is amazing for a hand pump.

I've seen shock pumps that can do 500psi. 30bar is about 400psi.

nice, glad I'm not the only one playing with smaller chambers and higher pressure than most pneumatics... never made one this big though, the thought of having to pump it puts me off :roll:

I'm not used to using bar for pressure I use PSI, so you 30 bar is just over 435 PSI. Not bad, I decided to try rating my high pressure cannon in bar and I got just over 55 bar which is 800 psi in about 70 degree weather. I don't use a pump, I find it far more convienent to use Co2 tanks for paintball guns :D .

I'd leave the long barrel on for ultimate power.

And call it the SWAT-gun?!?!?!

NO!

It is a sawed-off shotgun, but oversized!!
It's NOT a cannon!
If I want a cannon I can use my brothers Chappy.The idea behind this one is completely different.

What are you going to use to get that gun to thirty bar?

I would enjoy some damage shots.
