Air cannon firing golf balls - 100PSI - 99mph.

I recently rebuilt an air cannon that I had made years ago. The design isn't the most efficient in terms of air-flow, but I think it is by far one of the coolest designs I've seen. (note the sweet "Oreo Camo" paint scheme) It runs off three 9 volts contained in the handle. We were firing golf balls carried inside of small plastic cups at approximately 100psi. I used a small paintball chorno on a few of the shots, and we achieved speeds of 99mph. Unfortunately you can't see it in the video, but the balls were traveling roughly 100yards.

nice how did you release the air pressure with a trigger instead of a valve? PLEASE RESPOND

[kaptainkcg]

Its wired to a Electric sprinkler valve. I had a nine volt battery inside the handle. When you pull the trigger it completes the circuit and turns the valve on. (just like an automatic sprinkler system works) Techinically speaking, it actually releases the air slower than using a normal valve, but it's "cooler" :)

@kaptainkcg LOL -exactly- right.. I posted my reply above before seeing yours. :)

@sneakybast3rd It has an electric sprinkler valve on it. The trigger just provides power to the valve. It's acutally less efficient that way, but "looks cooler"

haha bet he tried it on his son the the background before filming it xD

You have a gun that fires a potato 2,640 feet? The potato would shred shortly after leaving the barrel at that speed. I'm pretty sure that's also considered illegal being fired fast enough to be considered a full blown firearm. Don't lie on youtube, every time you lie on youtube, god lights a retard on fire (watch open flames genius).

@HuntemProductions You replied to a 2 year old comment... Get back under your bridge. You realize there wasn't even a top comment 2 years ago? Dumbass...

[HuntemProductions]

@picassopainter2 that is wrong... ATF does not consider a potato cannon to be a fire arm.. yes they are deadly so use common sense... also consider research before you post things that you think will yeild a top comment..

[chamblizi]

if someone breaks into your house shoot them in the neekcap that wil throw em off for a few hours lol

@kaptainkcg you get much better results if you use more engrgy in the valve, 3 9 volts works well. also, switching it to pneumatic makes it work better

[mrmaster245]

Nice job and very nice looking but is it really fun to shoot

I have a few combustion cannons and it just doesn't seem like it would be as fun with out the massive boom I get every time I shoot

[phil656565]

@kaptainkcg good point, If i had kids i wouldnt let them touch this, i would give them proper firearms training with rifles and shotguns at a young age but this would seem a bit to much like a toy to them, i could see windows getting shot out.

@a23444 Thats what makes it FUN!
