[KiNG07]

SORRY, AM A NEWBIE, BUT HOW DO U MANIPULATE IT, I MEAN CHARGING AND SHOOTING. PLEASE EXPLAIN. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF PVC CANNON AND GUNS, COULD SOMEONE POST A LINK EXPLAINING THE BASICS.

[PyroManiac96]

this might be a little late, but heres a link that covers the basics of it
Combustion and Pneumatic Style Guns
And to charge it you need an air compressor or bicycle pump, and you pump it up

[jakee117]

[supermichael2]

try shooting out blowgun dart that are homemade

[joemonkey]

for all you hunters like me, use a 3/4 inch barrel and EMPTY not live 12 gauge shotgun shells, the fit perfectly. dont use all-brass shells, they are way too heavy and expensive
