Gonna be getting a paint job soon!

[Recruit]

Nice good and clean what color you thinking about?

[MrCrowley]

wow thats a pretty awesome cannon you got their How much have you taken it up to yet? Any damage pics or do you know how far it shoots?

[schmanman]

I like it, but the sprinkler valve appears to be hooked up to a 1/4 inch tee. If you had a a bigger tee, I think it would increase performance.

[SpudStuff]

No, that is a 1/2" tee and a 1.5" sprinkler valve. I am thinking blue/orange. I have take it to 35 PSI.

[noname]

Putting in a new spacer would be better than a piece of pipe, but nice nonetheless.

[SpudStuff]

I used the pipe because it was the closest thing I could find at that monent. I will change it to a nice piece of wood at a later point.

[Bluetooth]

Thats an awesome gun! Why is the chamber so short?

[SpudStuff]

It is 2 feet long!

[ProfessorAmadeus]

Oooh... You should get a golfball barrel. I like it.

[squeaks]

Ok, quick question, how much did the valve cost you to make, adding in price for parts you had lying around at home and discluding the exhaust valve system. A list of parts would be nice with the prices too, if it's not too much to ask.

[Bluetooth]

I mean compared to the 66" barrel 24" isn't that much.

[ProfessorAmadeus]

Yes but its four inch. That means a larger volume. You wouldnt need a four foot long chamber because thats just over kill and more time to fill it.

[squeaks]

Think of it this way, the surface area of 3" pipe is 2.25pi whereas 4" pipe is 4pi. Therefor you need almost twice as much 3" pipe to equal what you have in 4". Yay math.

[Bluetooth]

Yeah I guess it makes sense now. If I was building it I would probably be pumping it up twice as long as you .
