I just finished my 10.5 feet cannon a few minutes ago. Its made of PVC and it has a 3" compression chamber to a 2" barrel. I posted it here because I havent found how to use my mom's new digi camera. But as soon as I do I'll post them in the Marker Gallery.

For those of you who havent seen my last one.

It's only about 6 feet long without the bend in it with a 1.5" barrel. The compression chamber shattered. long story.

I had a pretty poor idea with that bend on the old cannon, I could of had alot more muzzle velocity if I had made it straight. It did make it kinda compact.

yup i made one that sounds alot like yours with the exeption that we call it a shotgun....about  30 balls down the barrel

mine is about the size as yours but i set it up for an 250 psi air comp vary cheap bout 15$ works wonders when defending structures ( 2 seperate kills so far)

they could be made smaller is u connected the higher pressure tanks to them.... and make sure that u use the right pvc and the right pvc glue
