Alright, here's my newest almost nice looking and almost powerful little piston cannon that I've been working at for a LONG LONG LONG time. The chamber is 79 cm of 1" black iron, the barrel is 1/2" plastic electrical conduit tubing. The piston slides indise a 1" brass nipple, the bumper is a piece of air hose and the piston seat is a piece of union that had to be "loced titely" in place to get it to seal. First the pston just crack opened about 2mm even there was just a little friction but still seemed to be enough to make the gun not dryfire or fire loose projectiles at all. At this weekend I sanded the gaskets on the piston and now it has no friction at all, fires great. You would like to see the cannon now wouldn't ya?

So here it is

very. I think the piston is very cleanly constructed. this looks like a quality gun.

I would call it "looks like a good gun".

Nice gun and the piston valve is clean and simple.

He is human after all. *runs down street screaming "NOTHING IS REAL!"

This a very nice gun to rival the work of schmanman and brian. Wonder what happened to it.
