so basically i cant do metal unless i can weld?

I have no idea. When did I say that? I just said I dont know because metal is thinner.

even if you were to drill and tap in a hole place in the back were the cap and pipe are overlaping eachother?

Not really. Steel pipe is usually SCH-40, with the same dimensions as PVC. tapping is a breeze with steel as well, (well, unless you're using vice grips as your "drill" and "tap wrench").

That's because all you've built are small ones. My tater cannon with a 1.5/1.5 atm mix will "stomp a pneumatics dick in the dirt", (as DR say's).

Can you make a metal gun if you cant weld?

Yeah. Bunches of people do it with copper. You just solder. All you need for soldering is a blow torch and solder.

Not really how else would you connect the metal fittings and pipe?

Soldering!! Unless your talking about steel.

With pvc on most hybrids. Whats The piece that holds the busrt disk.

Whats the best size of pipe for the chamber and barrle

OK IVE NEVER TAPPED PLASTIC UM IF YOUR MAKING A HYBRID (IVE NEVER DONE THAT YET EITHER) I SUGGEST YOU PUT A NUT ON EITHER SIDE OF WHAT YOUR PUTTING IN THE TAPPED HOLE IF YOU DON'T AND YOU STUFF UP THE TAP WHAT EVER YOU SCREW IN COULD RESULT FLYING OUT LIKE A BULLET WHILE FIRING ESPECIALLY WITH THE PRESSURE HYBRIDS WORK AT.HOPE THIS HELPS A LIL.

Please don't post in all caps.

@rl93 The part that holds the burst disk is called a union.

You truly don't know what your talking about.
Even in a 200+ psi environment I highly doubt that your fittings would blow out. Unless your threads were janky or you didn't have enough threads.

And do they make npt nuts? You could fashion your own out of a ed cap and drill it.

okay mate for your info i know that wouldn't happen in metal however i have never touched pvc or any other plastic for a spud gun so i dont know exactly wat would happen sorry for soundin like a dumbass and postin in all caps mi bad
