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.

Very nice, i have a few Questions

thanks!

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

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.

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)

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.
