Highest Velociy

i'm interesting in achieving a very high velocity for a pneumatic setup, i was thinking something like 1000+fps
anyone who has done some real powerful guns that can break this speed, could you just like say valve, material, projectile, pressure, or even gas that sort of thing
thx

pop off valve pilot

i've seen multiple guns, some even full auto, piloted by a pop off valve. I don't understand how the the system works (especially how the pop off valve gets reseated) or even really a pop off valve, i haven't experimented with one. If anyone could post the secret, i'd appreciate it
thx

Hybrid Basics

I'm new to the forums and i was wondering if someone could detail the components of a hybrid such as burst disks, propane meters, construction, firing mechanisms (i've heard of double mechanisms) and different gases, i understand the 1x, 2x, 3x mixes. I have some good experience with pneumatics (pis...

ya, barrel is 3/4" pvc, i think i tried 1/2" cpvc but the paintballs fit too tightly and i try to upgrade on every new gun i make so the piston valve was a natural upgrade from my old gun

the copper is actually for a later attachment for a different size scuba tank (even smaller) called a micra, i'm pretty sure it still holds 3000 psi and it's small enough to just adapt a new stock that holds the tank. That is where the copper idea came from, more stability and strength p.s. i know i...

the scuba tank is a pony bottle, not used for actual diving, i've mostly used that one for air-brushing

First Time Cannon Post

Hey, since this is my first post on spudfiles, i figured i'd save it for something good. This is my scuba tank driven cannon that shoots paintballs. It runs off a scuba tank (sorry for redundancy) @3000 psi. I use the low pressure port on the scuba tank regulator (about 150 psi) hooked up to another...
