Sucsessful Cannons

I bought something like this one that take a threaded CO2 cartridge and fills the tank on the Cannons that we have. I cannot find the link to our cannon thread but it works with both of the cannons that we have from Buddley.

The power is down quite a bit from when we use them at 70 psi but it still has some great range and you can lob the shots for distance. I am intown but I will have to do some ranging this weekend. The cluster with around 300 peas is more than man sized at 30 feet. I will post some videos after this weekend.

Throw a PSI gauge on the cannon, lets you do precise filling. Though if I go over 110psi, the solenoid starts hissing (tank rated to 150psi).

Similar set-up on the cannon I use?

Admitedly that is a better and more reliable system. I have the cannon bug back in my system. All I need now is someone who actually knows what they are doing...

I love the celeniod for releasing the charge. Very satisfying to have that electric click sound.

i think I have a small regulator somewhere and possibly a pressure guage. However, adding them to the existing set-up might make a weak spot in the pressure chamber. Putting the regulator/guage on the fill hose might solve that. Essentially, thats what Doug did on his but plumbed it in. I like what he did.
Did you get the second cannon working? Did you cut it down at all?

I am going to try out the little guy tomorrow morning.

Could someone please post a design. I want to try making something similar but not 100% sure on the design.

My internet is nearly dead right now (bad snow storm outside) but if you check through some of the older cannon posts, there should be some 3D CAD schematics of the cannon.

(found it, just had to wait 20 minutes for the #@$% page to load)
