any good stories?

 

ive built several. all pneumatic operated. i have shot crab apples through junk radiators (my neighbor is a mechanic) rolled up grease rags through 1/2 plywood. small frogs through sheetmetal. 2" trailer ***** through the side of 40yard dumpsters. hell of a recoil on that 1 i might add! if you can shoot it out of a 2" piece of pipe i have probably shot it

 

mine isn't pneumatic but we have an awsome time shooting the thing. I need to build a new one however and I wouldnt mind looking into building a pneumatic one...Slab you wanna send me a design of one or something...send me a message and I will give you my email...thanks

friesen

 

i shoot D batteries wrapped in rags out of mine, they go pretty good

 

i live about 250 yds from some railroad tracks. there are trains stopping there all the time waiting for another train to go by on the other set of tracks. well one day me and my buddy got the idea to shoot a d battery wrapped in electrical tape at the train. aimed about 3 ft above the back of the train and let it rip. sounded like God Himself hit the coal car with a sledge hammer. pneumatic guns are much more powerful than combustion type guns. if you build 1 be careful shooting it and pressurizing it. good luck all

 

My friend has a bowlingball canon. This is absolutely no joke. It will shoot a 12 pound ball 5+ miles in distance. I was as sceptical as you guys until I actually saw it. The barrel is made of thick well casing with a pocket at the bottom to pack gun powder in. The sound of it is really freaky because the ball whistles in the air. One time we shot it at some trees about a 1/2 mile away and all that was left was splinters.

 

where do you find instructions for a pneumatic spud gun and that bowling ball cannon. I have a couple combustion guns and i get sick of fixing them all the time.

 

Just for your info, we blew up 2 guns today. put the ignter on the side and it ruptured the sukin pipe all the way around .


No one hurt but be dam carefull on the new ones...

 

i used to pipeline and we took a plate and welded on the end of a pipe and cut a small hole just big enuff for the tip of the torch.....tape an aluminum can with electrical tape at top and bottom to fit pipe tite...actually swab barrel with oil...put a bent welding rod down pipe(to hold can off bottom)....light the oxy-acetylene torch and (heres the trick) tune it out to cut..i.e. oxygen mixed rite to cut metal and put it down against sum metal and cause the flame to go out...stick tip in pipe cannon pin hole ...hold it there equal to nad size and use striker to relight torch and stick it to the hole...heheheeh talk about an explosion.....empty cans would crush ...we had to fire cans of water
