background music is called: Navras by juno reactor and don davis
this cannon was a contest entry at spudfiles.com so thats why it says vote for deus ex machina at the end
Deus Ex Machina (deus ex mâchinâ) is a Latin phrase that when directly translated it means "god out of machine" the phrase is used to describe divine intervention of the gods or a supernatural change in fate
this is the name of my spud gun
it's the first spud gun to use ejecting cartridges

technical stuff: the gun is pneumatically operated and is connected to an air compressor for pneumatic tools or regulated CO2, it uses a sprinkler valve and a blowgun valve modified my me not remains open normally so air from the input goes into the sprinkler valve shuts the diaphragm while filling the chamber/stock with compressed air and when squeezed it closes off the input and releases pressure from the sprinkler valve port making the valve open
the receiver works similar to a bolt action rifle with a fixed magazine, and the cartridges eject when the rim hits a bolt screwed into the opposite side of the ejection port so they flick out of the port
you can learn more by searching the name at spudfiles.com

    can you send me a diagram of the ammo magazine?

  • @Distempercanino I shouldn't have to say this but there's a link for How-to instructions in the description, with plenty of diagrams and stuff

  • how does the ejecting system work???

  • look though the description and the links it provides, plenty of people have asked how the gun works, and it's complicated and I've done my best to provide the information to understand it so just look before you ask
