Hmmm. Try it....... GGDT just showed the sound barrier being broken with a bic pen at that amount of pressure with a 20 foot barrel.... just dont blow yourself up and you will become the next brian the brain with the supe-high pressure guns.......... (you might want to machine everything out of stainless steel with a good 1/2 wall around everything, but otherwise, i wanna see this work........)

2 days later and it is up to 214.
He has built 5+ minis and a small pneumatic. Yes, he is what some would call a "post whore" but mainly he has created several threads regarding his own cannons and responds to nearly everyone. He's just a giving kind of guy.
If you're 20 and not a liberal, you don't have a heart. If you're 30 and not a Conservative, you don't have a brain.

Make sure to cement any other flow holes, as there are often redirect holes for liquids. Just get the appropriate adapter from a hardware store and put an air fitting over the hole. Thats what I did with mine.

Your not making any sense. Are you trying to tell him how to mod the valve? if so your telling him to do it a bad way.
