imi going to try and fix my first design, for faster opening, hopefully by adding a larger handle, i can open it faster. Im definately going sprinkler next time, because its sooooooo much easier. thanks guys.

ive only had it for 2 days, and my hands already hate it, because of the stupid ball valve. I would be happy if it just had a bigger handle. I couldnt use the compressor today, so tomorrow, i will pump it all the way up. I do agree its not a great cannon, but this is all the bigger the piece was. Ne...

thanks. I got a couple good shots off today. They were pretty powerful. Im gonna try a small compressor we have, and if it works good i will get one, because the one we have has to be plugged into a ciggarete lighter. I will have to stay below 150psi, because the pressure rating on the ball valve is...

Heres my first Pneumatic. I didnt have enough money, for a sprinkler, so i used a ball valve. It is 1'' pvc(its pressure rated, if you dont belive me check the last pic.) the chamber is 14.5'' long, and the barrel is 36'' long. i would hev made the chamber bigger, but i didnt have much pipe to work ...

i was at lowes, and i was gonna buy all the parts for my gun, and they did not carry schrader valves. where can i find one?

Try and put the sprinkler valve horizontal behind the barrel to avoid the dead space in the elbow. thats what i was going to do, but i screwed up, and i thought maube it'll work this way better, but it dont. i will attach the sprinkler to the barrel, then a short piece, the the elbow. or maybe a T ...

Heres my plans. Hope the link works. Youll notice i said some kind of fill valve, and cap, and i was wondering if you could help me with that. Well hope the link works.

nice. i drew up plans today at school, and got in trouble for drawing when she was giving us notes, so i will try to draw it on paint or something, and post it here soon.

i get it now. how much would it cost to buy, and mod a sprinkler?

could i find the parts i need to mod it at lowes? i watched a video spudfiles put on youtube, but i dont get how squeezing the blow gun opens the valve.

you think i could find a pre modded valve in lowes?

i get hoe it works, and how to mod it, but why do you mod it? is it so its not electronic? or what. i dont know many terms, and i dont really know what a solenoid is so i dont know what it really is.

no its just against the rules to talk about it.

the reason its so small, is because i want it for reasons that are not to be discussed here. i just came here to figure out how to build it.

i was a member before, but i lost my information, so i thought id rejoin, and ask some more questions. i havent been to a hardware store for a while so i'll check next time i go, but im in the business for building a pneumatic airgun, and was wondering whether i should use pvc, or copper pipe. i don...
