(edited by BTB: This is a joke! Do not attempt!!)

Hey guys,

I recently bought a 600 psi shock-pump and want to make a high pressure air gun. Check out my schematic, do you think it would work?

Simple and elegant, should operate very reliably. Great idea to have a visible reservoir so the condensation can be seen after firing and the lightweight poly-barrel just makes sense under high pressure. Keep it up!

"Cheek rests here, Glass bottle air chamber -600 psi" yea... no, please don't. Unless you'd like to shred your face to pieces and go to the hospital with glass shrapnel in your face, please don't do this. I mean I don't know what kind of glass your using since some are stronger than others but... its glass under pressure, if you drop it or something you basically have a high pressurized glass bomb.

Imagine this happening... while your face is laying on it :shock:

Are you kidding??

Never use glass bottles as pressure vessels!
Not even Champagne bottles!

If you would like more power, first switch to a better valve, such as a piston valve or QEV.
You won't need 600 psi to make a powerful launcher but you could go that high with suitable materials...not with PVC and certainly not with a glass bottle!

I'm glad you're asking for advice before you start...pfew...

I admit...you had me!
I've just abused my editing powers to make sure people don't misunderstand..
