Not much to say about it, didn't cost me a thing and it doesn't use a union. The bottle and bottle cap are the chamber and a union, the burst disks are just 2 layers of sandwich bags, they bust around 40 psi. Not very powerful but will launch a small plastic ball about 100 ft. I made it in about 15 minutes.

I used a crapload of glue, about 5 minutes after I posted it the barrel fell off. I'm guessing you could use some sort of coupler or just some epoxy.
