Upgrade time....
Glad to hear you survived. Now show us some pics of the broken pieces.

Certainly wouldn't have been good for your health if it had connected.
A picture would certainly be good for reference and the traditional "it looks like ...... happened session".

Yet another reason to use steel pipe and fittings...
It's hard to soar with eagles when you're working with turkeys.
One of the many reasons I use steel on just about every single gun mate. Glad to hear your ok. With my PVC marble gun (Only gun I've ever made out of PVC...) I got some pipe insolation foam that was made for that diameter pipe and stuck it over it. It was a good investment because I've always been extremely accident prone...

Sounds like a asian computer company.._Fnord wrote:What's a pentomatic?
Or some automated pentagon.
Or some marketing scheme for pentagons.
