Anything is possible, so get creative. Any specific questions: ask or search.

[bob-a-lu]

thnx sorry i didnt search

[singularity]

well i have one that can shoot full water bottles 150ft with ease, an easter egg would probably get 500ft with it

heres a picture of it, the barrel and chamber are both 3in pipe to give you an idea of its size

You also used DWV on it, making it unsafe to use over 50 psi.

pssh... safety's for noobs, and i already knew that. i didn't feel like using 6 different bushings or special ordering the right one. i charge it to 80 most of the time, but its fired immediately after its charged. any ways i figure if it fails its just gonna end up shooting the chamber up in the air, nothing to serious

Unless you're not holding the elbows and they get shot at you instead.

[singularity]

wait the elbows are nsf-pw the bell reducer is the only thing thats dwv

[noob of noobs]

Sorry to be so stupid, but how do you know the difference between DWV and other pieces? I know DWV take lower pressures, but I really can't find much else at hardware stores. Where do you get non DWV pieces?

[NoXi]

It says dwv or nsf-pw on it.

[noname]

NoXi, that was extremely vague, and can be misinterpreted.
DWV fittings say NSF-dwv on them, for a first. The main reason why they're unsafe is because the socket depth is so short. This means that the fittings don't "grip" each other as tightly, and can result in fittings being blown off/out.

[NoXi]

o, srry i didnt know.

[noob of noobs]

Thanks. I thought DWV's were just made of cheaper material...

[spudthug]

it is cheaper material and mostly thinner..sometimes its foam core and thats ten times worse...
