Nice, did you put it on the barbecue?:D

LOL I know right, this paint is black as hell! I'm going to give it a light coat of my glossy krylon fusion black so it isn't as flat, but still flat to a degree where it will not be easy to pick up while I am hiding.

If it is too glossy after that coat use 1000 grit sandpaper. For a coat with superior thickness and durability I use marine epoxy with pigment. It can iron out imperfections in the construction too

It won't be, it will just be a light mist to even out the color. Epoxy will mess up the gun...

Well I took it off the BBQ ( ) and put another coat of black on, except this time is was glossy black. I didn't do a very heavy coat so it wouldn't lose all of it's flat property.

I believe it was 2" if I recall correctly.

DUDE THAT IS SICK! If I had one of those I would shoot the crap out of my brother for all the times hes kicked my a** I like the way you modded the pvc to make the grips around the barrel. But how did you make the back ironsight out of pvc? Its flat but pvc is round....

[Gun Freak]

I cut a slit down the side of a pvc pipe and then boiled it and flattened it to make a sheet. Then I cut out the parts It is done. Today I swithed the blowgun around to the original direction though because it couldn't take the higher pressure and it stayed open after I pulled the trigger each time. So now I use it at 180 psi and it is really powerful.

Thanks! The finished gun looks amazing. How long can you shoot for with your fire extinguisher air tank? Would you mind explaining how you made the air tank?

[Gun Freak]

The tank gets about 15-20 bursts or 5 seconds I think, but I'm not exactly sure on the precise time. I'll get back to you with it. To build it, I discharged it in the lawn, then just screwed the nozzle off a spare FE that was filled to 120 psi and tested to 360 psi, then I had to cut off the threaded part of the head because it had strange heads and I couldn't find one that matched. So then I tapped 1/4" threads inside that fittings then screwed in all of my 1/4" fittings, like the schrader, pressure gauge, regulator, quick connect etc.

Thanks now I will probably make one of those but it will be inside this small backpack i have and will be attached by a hose. Why would you make the blowgun upside down in the first place? Is there a special fitting you need to connect it upright?

[Gun Freak]

Sometimes I use a hose to connect it to the gun, but I only have a really long one now so it is kinda annoying. I first had the blowgun upside down because that is the way it is made to be used. When flipped around, it is more comfortable, but the valve has troubles functioning correctly, so I switched it back again.

Few new updates with a video.
