I finished this a while back, but I couldn't post it because of my camera situation. Anywho, here it is.

It uses a 3/4" QEV piloted by a modded blowgun. I'll prolly post some damage pics later.

Yeah, that looks good, but the barrel is sagging badly. A simple wooden support should fix that though.

What kind of pressure do you usually run it at?

I usually run it at 120 psi. I built a support for it, but I lost it.
