METAL SPUD GUN - 3 ASSORTED / ONLY 1 SUPPLIED

Product Information

Gluing: the use of epoxy resin in small designs is common for the making of custom parts but it is rare to see glues used for structural connections. Epoxy resin is mostly used in applications where normal fittings would limit the possibilities. A dry ice cannon uses the sublimation of solid carbon dioxide to generate the gas pressure to propel a projectile and is a variation of the burst disk cannon. jimmy163 wrote:Does anyone know of anyone who has ever been arrested in the UK for owning or using a combustion cannon?

In spite of what you say about your land being in the middle of nowhere, someone will own it and someone will have access rights to it although,I admit, maybe not the public. Perhaps you can get the landowner's permission to fire your cannon on it. Even then you have a duty of care to ensure there are no third party injuries or damage. Someone (and you admit it may be you) will inevitably get hurt. Soldering: commonly used in the construction of copper pipe based spudguns, a solder with a lower melting point than the copper is melted and drawn into the gaps between pipe and fitting with capillary action, holding to pipe and fitting with a wetting action before hardening. Brass: Often brass fittings are used on spud guns for small parts of the construction like fuel systems, because it is one of the most common materials for small pipe fittings. Occasionally large parts of spud guns are machined entirely out of brass. [14] Courtney, Michael; Courtney, Amy (November 2007). "Acoustic Measurement of Potato Cannon Velocity".

Retrieved 15 August 2011.Pneumatic spud guns are classed as air guns in New Zealand, which means the owner must be either over 18, or over 16 with a A-Category Arms License. Combustion cannons are deemed a firearm, requiring the owner to hold an A-Category License. These laws are rarely, if ever applied and spud gun ownership and building has proved a popular hobby with many New Zealanders.

In 14th episode of Season 4 of Prison Break, a combustion potato gun is used by Michael Scofield to launch 40 mm smoke grenades. Ball Valve: Made out of either plastic or metal, ball valves are considered inferior by many enthusiasts due to their slow opening times. For those on a tight budget or in low-power setups, ball valves are ideal. Some choose to modify their valves by attaching a pneumatic actuator or spring to achieve a faster opening speed.

By the explosion of a dry ice bomb placed in the pipe before the projectile, generally referred to as a dry ice bomb cannon, these are limited in power by the materials and size of the dry ice bomb but firing pressures can be around 200–300psi (1.4–2.1MPa).

Spud Guns & Dart Guns

Flange joints: on large steel spudguns, pipe and fittings are sometimes bolted together by means of flanges with a gasket sandwiched between them to provide an airtight joint. Heating the gases to far higher temperatures, and thus giving them more energy. This allows hybrids and combustions to achieve supersonic velocities. If the barrel is less than 16 inches then it is NOT a rifle, and is a hand gun, and if the muzzel energy greater than 6 foot pounds it is classed as a section 5 firearm and is illegal for almost everyone.
