Is the barrel 3/4in im assuming it is.
What pressure do you take it to?
But the ball valve is fine on a launcher so small, it just isnt worth it to spend 13 bucks on a sprinkler.

I guess OuchProgramme is thinking that if the joints of the stock blow under high pressure, the shoulder wouldn't be the best place to have the chamber....

i don't think he can get high enough pressure to bust the joints with a bike pump

If you watch the video you will see what I fired.. (Nail)
I was about 1' 6'' away from it.
My compressor is so old i am afraid to use it (cousin gave it to me) so I used a bike pump to about.. 60 psi. And yes the stock is the air chamber. The pvc on it is good up to 600 and the joints up to 150. Barrel is actually 1/2''. It costed 5 bucks to make.. lol.. I already had the 1/2'' on hand. Took half hour. Would of done it faster if it wasn't freezing in the garage.
Can't you see the damage in the video?


(Sorry for it being so jumbled up.. So many questions)
