I would add some kind of lever to the valve handle for easier/faster opening.

Unfortunately, some of the fittings you used are not pressure-rated, so don't use that above 30-40 psi. other than that, well done; the setup is certainly unique.

I think you mean "stock" :)

Nice looking launcher, I'm guessing it's a blowgun actuated QEV?
I'm assuming he used a translator and was trying to get something like body.

But very nice, the stock isn't to bad either.

how to attach high-stress fittings

I want to attach a fitting to the 3/16" steel (Al?) rigid tubing which is the output on my fridge compressor so that it will have a 1/4" threaded end. It will most likely be used up to around 500 psi and I am not sure as to the best way to attach the fitting. Ideas- 1. Score the tubing and JB-Weld t...

It still depends, they most likely have different wall thicknesses, try to look that up.

fridge compressor setup

Ok, I have already figured out all the electronics for my fridge compressor, and I have figured out which ends are which (input/output); now I am not sure how to set up the guage, hose, fittings, etc. Questions! 1.
