internals are a simple sprinkler valve based spud gun. i know its rough but im not sure if i want to keep the grips natural or paint them green with the rest of it. about 20psi will launch the pool noodles a good distance for nerf but they have an awful lot of mass to them - too much to shoot a 5 year old kid with (my competitor) and im not sure if there's anything i can do about that besides just making the darts smaller. but the barrel can be swapped for any size pipe so this could be used for airsoft/paintball/whatever

what do you think? any suggestions for additions/modifications are appreciated.

Perfect pre-bathtime activity :D nicely done!

With a bit more pressure it would be excellent as an anti-vehicle launcher for airsoft and paintball scenarios.

I’d be curious what that would do with 80 psi.

at around 50 psi, the pool noodles start to split and tear. with 80 psi, the noodles explode in the barrel
