As far as clear fittings go.... they are out of the normal spudder's price range.

A clear chamber is as good as you would need it. In addition it is also somewhat cost effective.

Has anyone made a piston-valved pneumatic that is clear so people that dont know how piston valves work can see the piston actuating first hand?

Its a massive waste to spend that much for making a fully clear cannon...

A clear valve housing would be interesting but you'd need a high speed camera to actually see it move.

Yeah, i guess so...... STill be cool........... it also could let you see what happens to un-heldback seal faces..... and see if your piston is messed or not without having to unscrew the housing.....

Those prices for the clear pipe and fittings are the prices i would pay for usual Pressure Rated PVC pipe and fittings.$12 for 10feet of 1/2 is cheap as hell I pay $5 per meter for non clear PVC.Just do it make a compleatly clear gun.

Interesting... bought some clear pipe from them just a few days ago...

Even more interesting... I bought it from them while on vacation, and it turned out I was within an hours drive of their shop...

Coincidental or apocalypse :wink: ?
