I would like to try to build my own guns. Does anybody have a list of materials for them. fast gun. I have a good idea but I dont want to miss anything.
Do you need cannons now or can you wait a bit? I probably have almost everything needed in a scrap bucket I can bring to the next cle elum battle... -Greg
fancy lathe work, but I make a decent pass at it on the mill.... I may not have pistons/springs but I have a crapload of tube and copper fittings sitting in a box somewhere. I used to make cannons like the BC ones and let me tell you, making them sucks. I really should look into a small lathe sooner or later just to make plastic pistons.
I've built quite a number of cannons for club members. I've got a couple of spares sitting around. Required tools: small drill press, Dremil tool. cut off blade, boring bit, torch, solder. Helpful: mini cutoff saw, bench grinder Hard to find materials: ss rivets $40 per box, springs from small parts, Limited source materials: small co2 hose. Common materials: copper tube, brass tube, brass fittings
This was years ago and I think the box had 100 in it so I have many years to go till I hit the half way point.
