Dual FireExtinguisher Paintball Rifle(Video/Update 21/06/07)

looks good what psi do you pump it to, the gun looks really interesting, do thos airchambers leak any bit of air

[MrCrowley]

Most i've gone to is my air compressor limit of 115psi.
No leaks. The fire extinguishers are welded to galv fittings which are threaded very tightly. I made a breech loading 3/8" copper barrel for it today, im going to shoot some sabotted(sp?) .303" projectiles.

I see you aussie. Where do you get your sprinkler valve from? Or what make/model is it?

Haha. Nevermind. Mix up.

Other then that. Nice gun.

[MrCrowley]

Im a f*cking Kiwi lol
Where did you ge tthe impression I was Aussie?

I bought it off http://www.trademe.co.nz

[SpoonZ]

Haha yeah just realised. I assume to quickly before actually searching.

Sorry. hah.

[MrCrowley]

Another update after a day of shooting in the garage. 4 New videos and a few new damage pics.

[gjohng]

Very nice, i have a few Questions

how did you connect the fire extinguishers? what fittings did you use?

thanks!

[MrCrowley]

I had to get them welded. Though there is a way to mod a kitchen tap so you can conect a fire extinguisher to 1/4" threads that I came up with.

I once mocked this movie poster for showing the whole round (cartridge+bullet) travelling as a projectile:



seems like you proved that yes, it *can* be done

[MrCrowley]

Ha yeah, we've got that poster in my history class, I always tell people but they don't believe me that bullets arn't fired with the cartridge.

[wannabie]

LOL thicko's

A good movie that.
Nice gun

Thats New Zealand right ?

I would have a improvement. I would make a second ball valve between the two Fe´s. Than you could shoot two single weaker shots if doesnt need so much power.

But Nice gun absolute ! 8)

[MrCrowley]

Yeah.

I wouldn't do that unless I had a hopper that was gravity fed so all the PB's get sucked out on one shot. It was never really meant to be a portable gun and by the time you shoot and load another PB you might as well charge the air compressor back up to 115psi. I usually keep it hooked up to the air compressor and when the compresser gets below 90psi it charges up again. I also got rid of the 'safety' ball valve.
