ok yeah thanks for the help guys

when i was getting the parts i told the guy what i was doing and he was real interested and i told him i needed all pressurized (except after the barrel) so the parts are all pressurized.

and as for the silicon grease i have a can of it so i will try that.

before ...

sweet i will be making that new trigger tomorrow.

and just a question, how much psi do yall think i need to shoot the egg 50 yards? i do not have much to base it off of so i need an estimate. the final grade for the project is 3 parts: accuracy, distance and then there is a "save the egg" part ...

oh sorry nvm i found the how to mod the valve.

but thanks for the help!

pneumatically modding the sprinkler? o.O

you mean bypassing the solenoid and using a type of trigger?
