First and foremost, this video is not mine. I am uploading this video on behalf of BC Pneumatics. You can visit his site at www.bcvids.comThe auto pneumatic is an invention of BC Pneumatics that allows for a very rapid firing of projectiles. This system is fairly simple to construct with excellent results.

i think i might stay clear of the valve idea sounds cool but im gonna stick with a holly filter clamp i dont know if you have heard of these? i work at a irrigation shop and im a welder so its gonna be fun. building a tripod aswell ill film it and put it on youtube

A nice point. How are you planning on firing this cannon? I would recommend looking into a burst disk system for any store bought sprinkler valve (up to 1") will majorly restrict flow, and any sprinkler valves larger will be expensive and not as good as other techniques. A burst disk will work best for a large cannon like you descibed.

that valve is only good for 150psi be careful and have fun! i got over the spud gun, now im building a canon out of 8ft of 4" steel and i found a 12" steel chamber gonna remote operate it

It is for teh lulz.But seriously, this is just something for recreation and entertainment purposes. Some people just like to shoot things, and a spud gun gives many people the means to do so cheaply and creatively. Plus, it gives the shooter a sense of satisfaction to know he was able to build what he is firing.As far as this device goes, sometimes it is just more satisfying to build something a bit more complex and better than other spud cannons.

What use would such a contraption have? Cant hunt with it, cant protect your home with it. I sincerely pray its not for attacking folks. Be careful or you might poke someones eye out.
