Making a 25mm Sonic Blaster Cannon

This cannon turned out a lot louder and more powerful than I imagined. Now that’s it’s finished, what adventure should we have with it next?

[@willgibson3847]

make it aim up more and then make a parachute army guy as ammo, pleeeaaase. that'd be so cool to see how far a little parachute dude would go, please, you gotta.

[@bummer6]

Wouldn't the parachute deploy as soon as the dude left the barrel, thus slowing it down completely after a few feet?

[@augustusgenetin-robertson7951]

Haha

[@g4mmalotus937]

Hmm... I think I want to make some edits on this design, and make it a lot more fun. 1. Move the trigger to below the weapon. 2. Add a hand grip and shoulder rest so it's more like a rifle 3. Rework the loading system a bit, for easier quick loading. (I'm thinking a bolt-action system) 4. Add a rail for scope mounting. When I get to building this edited device I'll make a video on it and post it on this channel. The firing mechanism is amazing though! It's a great Idea!

[@ROTTK9]

true .50 BMG bullet is 0.510-inch (13.0 mm) ... 50mm is just shy of 2 inches......

[@markschaefer5703]

ball bearing, deer slug, potato, buck shot (would need wadding), battery (whatever size best fits the caliber of the air gun, could wrap in electrical tape for a tighter fit), dry ice, regular ice (could use pipe or create a mold to make it the right size), wooden dowel, wax or candle, gummy projectile

Munition suggestion:Deconstructed "kryptonite" firework, mixed with match-head phosphorous (for ignition), rewrapped and surrounded by impact-sensitive powder, then (thinly) wrapped again, fired in a shot cup or something similar.

That isn't a muzzle break, that's a counterbalance to make it easier to aim. A muzzle break would have holes drilled through it to allow exhaust gasses to escape, reduce recoil, and not give your position away at high angles from the smoke plume. (the last one only applies if there is smoke mind) No harm done

This build was pretty easy to accomplish (The smaller model from SonicDad) especially after getting the instructions. The only thing I did differently was I used a universal grill igniter for the sparker instead of disassembling a lighter. I found that the lighter sparker would break or I would need to push it multiple times in order to get a true spark. Other than that, the build was fun and the kids love it. I also use NERF bullets instead of the marshmallows, they fit perfectly in the 1/2" barrel.
