Schmanman, just so you know, a Flatline just increases range, the backspin on the balls make the accuracy suck hideously.
yep, and now it can shoot through more with the new valve.


I feel stupid now....
oh well, it works for me.

and that's only if I turn it a certain way.
it shoots plenty accurate, as evidenced by the video's I've put up in the past.

hey, it's time for more of those!

Nice paint job! I wanna see a video of the air horn thingy doing its thing. It looks like fun!
well, I was gonna buy a 60 foot long marble barrel today, but I bought the misc parts to do this instead (used home depot gift cards, using cash to rebuild dirtbike engine)

okey dokey. air horn vid tomorrow!

Where did you find a 20 foot aluminum barrel?
it's aluminum conduit.

the aluminum is much smoother on the inside, and allows tighter projectile clearance, more fps.

I got it for free from my grandpa. :D

Wait where is that vid of the air horn?

ummm... oops....

sorry....

I had homework, and bass lessons in 1/2 hour.

I have to rebuild the top end, replace the rings on my dirtbike, so I'll get that video up sometime.

spudblaster, I like it too.

and the paint's easy to patch. :D
