Think i won't be asking anymore questions on here anyways.
You always seem to get your "head bitten off" after asking questions,
But when you answer back, its like being told off by the school principal LOL.

40-50 psi?, it would dribble out the end of the barrel lol, we are talking golf
balls here remember? :lol:

And you clearly don't have the first clue of what you're talking about.

First you want to put "HPA" into a bug sprayer. FWIW: "HPA" is loosely defined but I've *NEVER* heard anyone use it ...

i got a plastic bottle to 250psi then my bottle slid off my rig but those 3lt containers aren't designed for high pressures i suggest a fire extinguisher/paintball tank or a large piece of high pressure PVC pipe :D :D :D



How did the plastic bottle slide off your rig after reaching 250psi?
Was ...

Yes, think i'll get some threaded high pressure pvc pipe instead then.
How ...

I don't think HPA is really the word to use here, that bottle is probably not safe beyond 40-50 psi.


Wyz makes one on youtube with a soft drink bottle. How much pressure
he uses i don't know, as he doesn't mention it on the video. Be around 150
psi at least wouldn't it? This spray bottle is a ...

Hey guys, I was down at bunnings today (h/ware shop), and i had an idea of
making up a quick, simple ball valve HPA golf ball cannon with a pesticide/weed sprayer
pressure bottle as the air tank. and a air line fitting and guage epoxied in the end of the air tank to fill it..... I have seen guys ...

Hey jake, i have recently been shopping around for the same 3 way valves.
I got lucky on ebay ...

^LOI

@Mr C ..... WTF, sounds like a super-charged enema

True True, i was thinking it wouldn't be to bad as it would be a small chamber therefore not to much effort to pump it, but a bigger chamber or using co2 would be better.
Using a butterfly valve would suffice to use it for multiple shots hmm design rethink i think ;P
Thanks Jonesy :)


No worries ...

Good stuff MrC! Now if only we could introduce you to that friendly machinist...

Hey JSR, i know this is an old thread, but do you know what the inside
diameter of the 1/4 copper tubing used on this rifle is?...Im guessing
around 6.05mm.

If I'm not mistaken this is for steel BBs, and you can get copper tubing in 1/4" OD, 4.5mm ID (steel BBs are 4.4mm).


Yeah right, i forgot ...

You have achieved the holy grail of *dakka dakka dakka*, congratulations :)

What's the diameter of the tube before the inlet? if it's around 9mm, that's a recipe for jams - ideally it should be a factor of 1.5 times the ammunition diameter, so in your case 6.75mm or so - any chance of adding an ...

[quote="MrCrowley"]Wax is reasonably light so if you shaped the wax in to a more aerodynamic shape with the ball bearing as the front of the projectile, you probably could get better accuracy than just shooting a ball bearing. Now that all depends on things like range, weight and performance. But at ...
