Instead of buying 5 reducing bushings to thread in a schrader valve, you should have just drilled a hole and tapped it in.

You could have saved alot of money.

Firstly, it turns out that the the gage on the pump we were using was broken, so we weren't getting an accurate reading. Now, instead of using two handpumps we got a foot pump with an accurate gage. Still pretty impressive, it turns out that at 40 psi it went 110 yards. As for aesthetics, we layed down this awesome camo duct tape all around the chamber and barrel. It looks pretty nice, but we're not quite finished yet. Hopefully we'll have picures up soon. Anyway, the competition is on Tuesday, and it looks loke we have some decent competition, so i was wondering what the maximum psi we could use, wothout it being dangerous. That'd be great if you guys knew. FYI, if you didn't know, its 260 psi rated pvc, but im pretty sure that's only for water pressure.

When is the judgment day? basicly when everyone shows their projects.

It's on Tuesday, but we want to go all out today to see how well it can perform, so do you know the maximum psi we can use with it still being safe. Once again it is schedule 40 pressure rated at 260 psi.

the rating if watter and air pressure so if its possible to pump that high go for it you'll be fine
