High pressure gun --> silencer video update

[MRR]

I like that gun so much at the moment that I added a breach load that was reserved for one of my bigger guns.

Well, looks bad ass....


Close up of the breach. I will also add a handle.

Niceee

Any guess on the average muzzle velocity ?

[MRR]

Nope, I was so busy building that i didn't test the performance with silencer and now it's getting dark outside .

why cant the sun rise faster? anyway i cant wait till we get some preformace numbers from this beast

[daniel323]

that gun looks amazing and powerful great build.

[MRR]

Made some test shots and the results were not disappointing but also not as good as i expected.

I simply build too fast.... I have multiple leaks (noticeable at 200psi +) and the breach load doesn't seal 100%.

I'm going to disassemble the gun an try again.

Slap on a couple more layers of Teflon tape and really crank those fittings together.

For the breach, maybe try a sealing gasket that makes a seal when you close the bolt.

I've found the problem...
The hose barb that the piston seals against is screwed "upside down" so I had to wrap the teflon tape in the other direction (forgot about that).

I made a test shot at 245psi on a 3cm wooden board (5" nail) and it went right through.

Here is a little video footage i shot at the weekend.

Yes I know the garden is a mess at the moment.
I've found the music on jamendo.com ... sounds like Kung-Fu somehow

Nice could the aiming fail be coming from the fact that you weren't shooting from rest?

Try resting the launcher on a bench or something and try shooting a group of 5-10 shots, with the laser attached and always pointing at the same spot - see if it groups at random.

[MRR]

I will try that but the biggest problem in my opinion is the alignment of laser and barrel (just zip tied it)

[ALIHISGREAT]

I love damage vids, be sure to keep the coming!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Why not buy a proper laser, they're not that expensive.

[paaiyan]

Well jack's idea is the best thing either way. If it's random groupings you need to probably find better ammo. If your groupings are tight then it's just a matter of adjusting your laser to compensate for it.

[MRR]

The darts are ok and very accurate at short distance.

@jsr
I bought this cheap laser to disassemble it and give it a new housing/switch that fit the gun. I'd rather build than buy something.
