The other day I was reading about how chamber fans increase power, and distance. Therefore I thought I would give it a try and gathered stuff around the house and went from there.
I used an old flash light and put in a 9v battery terminals and wires with ring connectors into my gun and put some ring connectors on my fan inside, with screws to give to the fan power inside of my chamber,(If you have a old plastic flash light, they make good battery containers)

I could not believe the performance, much louder and much further
Im glad I listened to other spudders and what they said about putting a fan in my chamber, Ill get pics up as soon as I am able to

Thanks guys and whoever made the wiki about chamber fans
