Ahaha xD
I know, I'll probably be probably be pumping it up to around 150 psi on average using a bike pump :P If I'm impressed with the gun, and all is well, I'll probably invest in an electric tire pump, you can get some pretty heavy duty ones :P

The knob is a T-bend connected to a pipe cap with a Bicycle valve :P
And the chamber connected to port 2 will be attached to the tank. It will only be attached, they're not connected.

Constructive criticism is fine. I used paint :P

I measured the diameter and the ID is 28mm. I looked for fittings of the internet and it came up with BSP fittings. I went to ...
