Service Stations and Air Cannons

Finding myself trapped at a service station for quite literally six hours straight the other day, I spent my time wisely, modeling and sketching with the Discovery Channel on in the background. After about an hours worth of time, I had modeled a fairly detailed, realistic looking air cannon, the design of which I had sketched out a few days prior. The cannon, when built, would be just over a foot and a half long, and is meant to be worn on the top of the forearm. The PVC rail that wraps around the arm is not pressurized, but is connected to the cannon in multiple places to help ward off stress fractures that would otherwise make the cannon unsafe to wear.

This Air cannon took about an hour to model, it's from a concept I sketched a few days prior.
