All Aluminum 2" Diaphragm Valve Cannon
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2011 5:44 pm
It took me awhile to complete this but it is finally done. Thanks again to all of the members on here who helped me with this.
Air Chamber-3" x 24" Aluminum Schedule 40
Barrel #1-3" x 40" Aluminum Schedule 40
Barrel #2-2" x 48" Aluminum Schedule 40
Valve-Goyen 2" Dust Collector Diaphgragm Valve
Trigger-Lincoln Blow Gun modified and welded to gun
Handle-Aluminum Picatinny Rail welded to bottom of barrel with adjustable handle
I originally had threaded fittings but found those would strip too easy so I bought some aluminum flanges and had those machined down and cut off the excess metal on sides to make it as light as possible.
I have not had a chance to fire it yet but I can't wait. I am planning on using 2" barrel for general ammunition and the 3" barrel for water balloons.
