I got a cannon that runs on ether. I can shoot a spark plug with a insulation styrofoam wad over our silo from our shop door. Roughly a hundred yards I would guess.

Yes, it is fun. Until it burns a hole through your tennis rachet.

As for the guns, I have helped make them before, but I don't have them with me.

If some punk ever shoots at me and my friends with a potato cannon while we're golfing they're getting run down with a golf cart and my 4 iron to the dome.

okay so lets tally it up
-1 for boring thing with ur marker at the start of the vid
+4 for the kramer poster
+1 for hitting yourself with you canon
+1 for your cannon blowing up one you
-1 for everytime you said "lets see what this baby can do"
overall i suck at math so it get a thumbs up.

My cousin and I made a pneumatic cannon, but it needs a lot of work.  Plus, we're going to convert it to CO2 power (it'll be filled from a 15 lb. tank), so we're going to replace the PVC air reservoir with steel pipe (NEVER use a PVC reservoir to hold CO2 pressure).

Once we're done with everything, I'll try to get a video up.

thats the video me and my friend made a wile ago of my cannon. its pretty damn powerfull, shoots potatos about 200-250 yards, sometimes further, using our laser range finder for distance. my friend is kinda random.
edit: just watched it and I forgot there is slight profanity at the end, so you 12 year olds cover your ears

Pansy, as long as the pressure is under 90 psi its extrememly safe. I power mine with a 12gram cartrige. I can get two good shots with one.

yeah thats my retarded friend, and the videotaping is by my friend with his crappy digital camera, and the screeching would be my clothsline.

as a side note, i wouldnt want to be filling even steel pipe with unregulated co2, i can see very bad things happening

It's not just the high pressure, it's the fact that super-cold CO2 + PVC can = brittle PVC which = bad.

I just don't want to take that chance.

well, mine is adjustable so it can shoot flat, or mortar style, or anything inbetween, and i like it. i think it kinda depends in what your doing, in my yard i usually shoot it flat at random objects because i only have 250 yards behind me, but at the lake i always go for distance, where a mortar like one would be good. you could make one thats best of both worlds like mine though.
