Almost finished. I have fired a few test shots and only really need to paint it and do some videos. Its a mauler valve which seems to be great I will be doing a proper review of it and Jogs valve in the next week or so.

You'd barely notice the weight of the lead-acid in there. Looks like that might be a 3m barrel.
Nice valve cascade going there, solenoid -> QEV -> piston. Powdered any innocent golfballs yet?

The barrel is 3m. I have lost a couple of GBs.
I intend to get the chrono out this week.

Big enough for what exactly?
To get a golfball to the moon... no.
To get a golfball further than you can see it... almost certainly.
Impressive. Waiting for any damage pictures or videos.

I'm not accident prone, I just do things which are likely to go wrong!

Don't do that to the innocent golf balls! Nooooo! 
Anyway, this really is a great cannon. (but it'll be nothing compared to the one your're making with my valve, right? *hint hint*)

Pete and I built Tennis ball launchers last year. Petes was launching real close to Mach 1.
