Ready to build my cannon?

[furball]

I've done a few good weeks research and I think I'm ready to build a PVC/QEV copper cannon. I was hoping to build a bolt action sniper rifle that looks good aswell as performs good. My pump only goes up to 100 PSI so I'll be looking to buy a 1000psi valve and maybe a better pump. I was wandering if a modded sprinker valve would perform well?



I don't know what valves and materials I'll need though. Obviously it's my first cannon and I'm spending around £70 so I really don't want to make a mess. Any help/advice appreciated
Thanks <3

Performs well.

Reguardless, I modded sprinkler valve will be a good choice for your first gun. Also, I don't think a 1000psi valve will be nessesary for you gun (unless that is a mistake).

I don't know what your saying???

You know you want a pvc/copper sniper, breech loading. Do you have a building plan drawn on paper? Something done in CAD/MS Paint?

Do you need to do more research to gain clarity for a design you are thinking about?

Sorry, I meant to have the plans I promised you and suddenly my uni sprung loads of really short deadlines on me.

If you still want them, I may be able to find the time to finish writing them up.

Rag, I think it would be a better idea for them to become knowledgable enough to make their own plans and make sure theyve done more than enough research in the first place.

Wait, PVC/copper? Dude pick one. And if you don't know what materials you need, well, you haven't done your research then, because that's what research is for.
