Make sure you check your local laws before trying this.... In some states (or countries) silencers are illegal.... Then again, so are potato guns. Nice ible though. +4, nicer result.

Yea you're going to be in trouble regardless of you having a silencer or not, and thank you :) we actually painted our cannon too, using the Shark Teeth design that you find on most of the Antique Fighter Planes :P
