R/C Naval Combat

Charley wasnt there and I dont know if Don got tested or not, Jeff Lide had the hardest guns that were up in the 270-280 range i think they were 275 or 277. but really even some of the other hard guns were in the 250-270 range as I remember. I dont know where the data is but Im pretty sure it was written down somewhere.

Big Gun cannons do not have an o-ring or anything similar, our cannons dump a large volume of gas (about 1.5 to 2 cubic inches of gas per barrel) to fire multiple barrels at one time, and the gas just carries the balls away. I adjust gun power by adjusting pressure, easily done with paintball regulators and Clippard MAR-1 regulators. Since regulators don't "lose their tweak" after a sortie or two, I only need to test ships once per day. Easy, fast, and effective.

Generally, I'm happy if they all work. Actually, if everything else on the ship works, I'm happy as long as I'm on the water.

I agree. If I can sail, and if I can shoot, I'm happy. If not, then I am very unhappy. I have been very happy for the last year and a half, since I completed Cadorna.

Somewhere on this forum is an old thread where Carl began to describe the different cannon designs, including the big gun cannon. I think it is still here, if you want to look for it.
