fire extinguisher bottle

[deathtodeer666]

i know a guy that works at a place that make scuba tanks and the like so he gave me a couple small oxygen bottles that were flawed some how but would still hold alot of psi i had to tap them but they work fine for pneumatics.

thats cool but could the old ones handle a lot of psi?

[Brian the brain]

the walls on the one I had were 3mm thick.Also aluminium.It could take up to 28 bar so that's 400 psi.However, I could not find a fitting at that time and I srewed it up.( had just started this hobby)

The ones that have the "bike"valve built in are great.If you take off all the plastic parts and the grip and such...you basically have a large cilinder with a ready made knock-open valve.great for smallbore multi-shots.

i made a fire extinguisher pnuematic, its in the unofficial pnuematics cannons. its called the la france pnuematic....the only problem i cam across was the thread was not standard, but a 1 inch male adapter screwed in pretty tight with 4 wraps of teflon tape....it doesnt leak at all

me and my best mate did this and boy were they good i charged mine to 120 psi and it shot a spud around 200 meters and they bottle was bloody tiny from memory i think it was like 1.6 kilos you dont have to worry about getting a sprinkler valve or anything because the trigger on the work fine

i have made 1 olso.

it was just the small fire extinguisher, with a car tire valve on it and a tube.

later i made it to fit small glass bals (dont know how you call it, we call it knikkers in holland) it shot it at a nice speed ad only 7bar becaus my compressor is a litle bit f*cked up.

knikkers = marbles
