yes fan make an insane difference, ive tried to fire then gun with out the fan on but its takes about 5 or six clicks to make it fire, but when the fan is on its fired on the first click no matter what.

I just did the coin test at 250psi. I shot a nail through a 10c piece and an inch into the back board. I shot a 20c piece soon after but I made the tip too sharp and so it had no strength. It got close to going through the coin but the nail tip just collapsed and moulded into the coin. I can't get it out....

If I had some high speed steel nails, I reckon I'd have a bit more luck.

Cheers for the comment Pizlo :D

Wow very nice.
I would really like to see some pics of this awsome damage you speak of or even a vid.
Id bet its loud because I just finished my mini coax(1/2 the size of this) and it makes a surprising crack when it is fired at 200psi and will soon get up to 500psi.
what pressure have you taken it up to?sorry if that has already been mentioned

It pissed through both sides...
Was that a typo or are you just being Australian? :D

Nature always choses the path of least resistance, if your projectile is harder than your target then it's easier to penetrate. I use masonry nails, the ones that tend to snap rather than bend if you hit them sideways.

I will take it up to 500psi with the high pressure pump I am working on.
1/2in type L copper body and a floating o-ring
Should be able to get to 500psi[/quote]
