    For those trying to make piston interrupter cannons, rivets that can be used as an interrupter can be found here

    or search for solid rivet. available in stainless, aluminum , etc.

    also you can search for your appropriate springs there or at

    Excellent post! Thanks!

    I'll have to put this in the known vendors section.

    Note also that #8 2.5" round head stainless steel wood screws with the treads cut off make good pistons. You can order them from small parts also. Also #8 nylon screw insulators make a good spring buffer- the short ones (1/8"?) don't require trimming.
