I do only coke bottle guns. I've never seen the pvc for an american spud gun in any shop here.

Ah, nothing like a grenade pressed up against your shoulder to rest your cheek on.

Keep the pressures low and be safe.

That's a cool idea as long as it doesn't pop the bottle next to your face, lol.

In the tutorial video, I recommend warping some rag around the bottle. Anyway, that bottle is pressure tested by the fuzzy drink. It's way more safe then any brittle plastic. PVC can fragment. I've tested very thick pipes, they can be nasty.
