    thats why i would go with steel myself. i would to scavenge some scrap pipes and build it, but i don't have anywhere to shoot it, also i don't think my parents would be to thrilled. (they wouldn't take it or stop me just wouldn't like it)

    That's even worse, because sometimes you can get too ballsy thinking you've got a super-strong unbreakable cannon so you load it with gasoline and end up making true shrapnel, not good

    i would end up putting a mix of oxygen and acetylene probably haha, double walled?

    if i ever made one i would probably do like i mentioned before and use a old drive shaft. then i would make pistol grips with an electrical bbq igniter attached to a spark plug, one of these, then strap a propane bottle to it so i don't have to unscrew anything and its faster reload. maybe even rig up some kind of pre measured amount canister. also add a bolt action type of relaod if possible.

    I've still got you beat in terms of size (That cannon of yours doesn't appear to be 7ft long at least).



    These things are almost too fun, I swear.

    Got it off ebay a while back. . Its Rechargeable. I had to mod it by flipping the poles around.
    Or you could probably find one at a local flea market or similar, Ive seen them at the ones around here.
