With a bit more background in plumbling he could have had a system thet wouldn't expend all his air in one go.
Pretty neat concept, not sure what it could be used to accomplish though.

Needs to refine the trigger mechanism to make it less shakey when he releases the daart. Pretty neat.

needs heavier wall tubing for the barrel

but definitely a good squirrel gun for a neighborhood where the neighbors are close by

I was into "potato" cannons a few years back. Preferred combustion types to pneumatic... here's the last one I designed/built: a 1" bore, breech loading design with metered propane combustion. Later on I changed the barrel for a Sch. 80 one for greater stiffness. It shoots plastic balls, darts, bullets made of wood, etc. It's fun to play around with.
