i decided to go with the striped bumble bee theme after i realized i had to wrap the screw heads (or get a shock every time) i just didn't like the one black line

longer barrel, pressure rated fittings and pipe, perhaps a chamber fan or how about a propane meter.
or better yet a combo of all of the above

nice first attempt BTW
The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

longer barrel, metered propane, chamber fan, ball valve or other quick way of venting, and a good breach.

This one looks pretty fun.

edit: damn heimo haha beat me to it

You don't need a compressor, you can use a bike pump. However, a compressor does help a lot! If you live in the US, you can get a $40 air compressor from Harbor Freight. For first pneumatics, I would suggest a modded sprinkler valve, or if you're ambitious, a piston valve.
