thats a nice gun but id take it to 200 psi

id take it to 23kpa if i had a pump that would do it

I think you mean 2300kPa.
23kPa is almost nothing.

yes i do, or 0.23MPa, my bad

100kpa = 1BAR
1MPa = 10BAR
700Kpa = 100PSI(Roughly)
7BAR = 100PSI(Roughly)
10BAR/1MPa = 145PSI
23Kpa = Jack sh*t

yeah, my statement was correct

id feel happy taking it to 250psi

That would be 2.3 mPa.
Again, .23 mPa isn't a lot (about 30 psi.)

damn, got it wrong again. runs off to physics folder.

man whats the c:b ratio on this thing?
have you considered using a blowgun for the trigger?

by spanerman
i have considerd a blowgun, i have used one, the perfomance suffers as the flow rate is so small, there is about a 1:1 ratio

If you don't mind the effort, you can get yourself a mountain bike
shock pump relatively cheaply, it'll be low volume so pumping up might take a while (I suggest you use your compressor first then top up with the shock pump) but the performance increase for specific targets is more than worth the effort

Pretty sure it wouldn't take long to get to 23kPa

Hmm, you could probably get 23 kPa from a
balloon pump.

28mm!!!!
should be solderd today
