It pleases me that in these days of rampant political correctness, we can still find it in ourselves to describe something as being "gay as shite" :)

Pretty accurate description though hehe

Seriously, invest a little more time and money and mod yourslef aa sprinkle valve. Make sure you can take it off cause those thing are useful but kinda expensive. I made one that i can ues for whenever I make a differet cannon.

I really like the scope and stock though. Take some chicken wire or cheap gutter mesh, wrap it around your bottle, and cover it in tape as to make sure it won't explode and send shrapnel into you. :x

Lighten up sp00k. he's a beginner and I myself didn't understand the modification of sprinkler valves until i was well into spudding.

The basics never fail, but u can always upgrade :wink:

I didn't mean to sound like I was mocking his first attempt at a gun. I wasn't trying to sound superior. It was more of a phrase of agreement with what mitchza said. :?

I hadn't even heard of sprinkler valve usage on a spdgun when I first started.

Just wondering did you use metal elbows, that seems excessive because they are way more expensive and they're not even part of the chamber.
