    I suggest removing the muzzle break if you can as it can cause problems with the sabot and make it less accurate (if you care about that) Still really cool to see :D

      @@BunsenOblivious At those pressures and velocities you are probably correct, but with an enlarged bore you could likely install a sleeve and check velocity/ accuracy differences. Muzzle devices are an issue with sabot rounds out of rifles with breaks, and they also have enlarged bores. Baffle strikes are a thing even in correctly concentric builds.
      Also, that potato cannon is awesome.

    The first several seconds I thought that was dumb. THEN I started to notice the metal frame, the elevation, the storage containers. The overall design was nice.
    I could see that the first 2 rounds were WAY wrong. They were leaving the barrel sometimes pointing left when they should be pointing forward. Those were way too light. The last ones were perfect. They flew straight the entire time. Good job! don't be discouraged by the haters.
    What's your fuel??

    i would take the compensator off that thing... its muzzleloader, it should not be there in first place... and recoil does not matter on gun thats mounted on ground... if it even changes anything....
    you would reload it 50x faster and you would have non obstructed view of whats happening after it leaves the barrel.
    nice job anyway, i would love to do domething similiar... i have small functional black powder canon... some larger one would be fun

    Cool looking project! The darts tumble too much, I think they might be too heavy in one point, lessening the overall moment of inertia. While they certainly should be better in your design with the fat top and far away fins, I suggest trying a more of an "arrow" shape, like the APFSDS tank ones. The mass being concentrated in the forward section might make it too easy for fins to overcompensate. Good luck! :)
