Airsoft cannon

Hi WW here. I am wondering if anyone has built or seen plans for an airsoft cannon. Any kind really, Hopfully a field emplacment. I am just starting and don't have a local field any clues for a cannon for my new field????

Cannons for airsoft are typically ineffective. I've made many airsoft mortars (both squad used and emplaced). Maybe those would work better for you? They're really easy to make and use.

I'm looking for basicly the largest biggest emplacment you have or seen and have a pic. let it out

How does an airsoft cannon work ?

like a gun with a larger cap.(Shotgun) or a shell that opens(like styrofoam) that encases the shell to fire by spring or gas

Either by using a gas or air charge to sling projectiles long distances. All mine use green gas because it's safer, but more expensive. Most large airsoft cannons use compressed air. Gunpowder charges are typically a no-no in airsoft haha. I'll make a thread about my mortars in a few weeks.

We have some Cannons at one of the local fields. They do not fire anything but they make an awsome sound when they go off. Almost like we had a real 4lb cannon on hand. They also make great objectives.

At one of the events there were "refs" walking the paths, when a cannon fired the refs would call a few players out in (insert grid area here) out. I guess people got pretty good at avoiding the refs .

sticks

That's a pretty cool idea. I'll have to input that whenever we're planning another op. At this point, we have nerf and 8mm bb firing mortars and field guns. If you're hit by a BB or the nerf falls within 15 feet of you, your out. Honor system of course, but thats what airsoft is about.

this might work with some bbs instead of confetti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HcYfTkVFQ8&feature=channel_page

alot of people use pin activated gernades/ buckshots, they drop it down the barrel like a mortar and the buckshot goes off .
