What happens is I charge it with propane, then shoot it out the barrel. Liquid propane suddenly flying out of a 3/8 pipe goes really far. It looks really sweet since it fires from the hip and makes a lot of fire, but if I charge it to even ~20% of a propane tanks pressure it pops the compression fittings right out. If I find some cheap quick connects I'll probably use them instead.
I'll post some pics once I get the bugs worked out.

Wow redleader, now that sounds like one cool project!
One question, do you have any insulation on the barrel? does it get hot at all or is the LP ignighted in front of it? Are you at all worried about getting "back up" into the system? What kind of range do you get with the thing? Anyway very neat and it sounds like it's VERY fun to play with.
