The colasapable part actually points backwards and contains the rocket on the real thing, so that'd make a better chamber.
I just don't have any idea what to use for a valve smaller then 2" sprinklers are about 5" at their widest part.

I think a 3/4 QEV is a little smaller then a sprinkler....Can anybody confirm because im not sure and asked the same question in another post and got no reply.
ahhh...a 1 in sprinkler should suffice

Anyway, NERF doesn’t make the “pocket foot ball” thingy. BUT there is a Chinese company that makes ’em, I think; I saw one not more than a month ago at the big lots…what state do you live in? The farther south you live the older the stuff is at the big lots, don’t know why just that’s the way it seems…also look for the stores that look like they haven’t seen business since the 80s, but are, by some miracle, still in business, just be careful were you shop, some of the other customers may want something that the store doesn’t sell, like your money…
Actually, Hasbro does still make the Nerf Pocket Vortex. They are sold exclusively at Target. Oh... and they're cheaper at Target than they are on AE-bay!
As for making a realistic body for your LAW, try this:

I have one already outfitted with a ball valve to launch 2" Nerf rockets, and I am building another with a sprinkler valve right now.

Exclusively at target? I think not! I found them at Roses, they’ve got dozens. Then again it could just be that nobody goes to Roses, they were covered in a thick layer of dust…
NERF still make ‘em? Crap that what I get for believing everything I read on the internet…

Sorry, most people don’t disclose said information in their profile.
Anyway, you live in Virginia, what part? If you’ve checked my profile you know that I live in North Carolina, if you got the money I could FedEx you some, that is if Roses still has them and my parents Okay it.
