SOS in air is:
340 m/s
1125 FPS

What valve are you going to use?

Baracudas at SOS is going to be very hard. I doubt the Condor could get those kinds of speed. I had 200 of them and fired them out of my QEV rifle. They were going fast but not that fast.

Ah well, should be a fun challange ...

Eh yeah, 430 meters per second...

that's in a way too large barrel... eh..

Baracudas at 300 meters per second at any rate..

Oh right now the fill valve kind of went poof.

Previously my valve broke in half as did my sidelever, allthough both are fixed now.

It propels barracuda's a lot faster now at any rate.

At any rate making a new fill valve comes first and then, well yeah I'll post some pics for you guys.

Barely breaking the speed of sound huh, I wonder what the expansion rate of air is..

I was planning on using a solenoid powered hammer valve (daystate cfd imitation yay) at 200 bar, and 330 bar once i get my good scuba tank..

with a barrel length of 1.2 meters, bullpupped so I get something that ...

I was wondering;

How fast could one theoretically fire a bb using just compressed air?

(No helium or whatever just pure unadulterated 200 bar breathing air)

Thanks in advance!

I have been in a mental clinic before, diagnosed with scitzophrenia

No wonder you were contemplating a 150 bar BBMG :D

Well it was 300 bars before I compromised on shots per fill. ;)

At any rate, schitzofrenia is now a thing of the past.

So now they all too well want to diagnose me with some ...

Mrrr at any rate I have been in a mental clinic before, diagnosed with scitzophrenia, based on a few minor things, and one major things, I kept hallucinating.. But that could also be explained by something as simple as not having slept in a day or 5 when I arrived, when they started me on the ...

I'm from mars obviously.
Either that or the netherlands I cannot seem to recall.
Wait what?

...a detent?

The search function here does not really do what I order it to do..

240 bars. Around 3500 psi.

allthough a bloody scuba bottle is much handier if I say so myself...

Not quite the same pump (I think it was using a gehmann or FX pump but yeah..)


'tis quite a workout too..

Well using a piston valve would be rather backwards, you see You could make a piston valve that returns to closed position wich kind of makes the ball valve obsolete...

I meant the ball valves, and I intend to hook up a rather strong solenoid to the valve instead of gearing it.

Quite actually, that would be killer if hooked up to a solenoid.(only I'd still use it just after the hpa botlle)

How much pressure will those things take? I think like 80 ish bars?

Well, pressure washer should be possible, I want a somewhat lighter trigger though, And something that indeed looks more like a trigger instead of a ... well.. complete handle, and with regged I meant.. regged to 150 bars..

Anyway, I'll look into the pressure washer thing as you can probably take ...

Hey, another project I want to start in the near future, a high pressure vortex smg.. (high pressure means around 150 bars...)

Regged and all of that... However. I am thinking about how to make the magazine and.. the valve.. obviously the hammer valves I am used to working with won't work.. So any ...
