*UPDATE 8/13/08* Pnuematic Shank

[blind909]

I can get about 20 "stots" from a single charge of my tank. The Piston on the end of the steel rod is some electrican tape roled up until it fits in the pipe, then I have 2 o rings on on the ends of the tape, which are epoxied on. Tommorrow I will buy a 7 foot 1/4 inch hose to replace the tiny 7 inch 1/8 inch hose. The cylinder is 1/2 inch sch 80, sleeved at the end is some 3/4 inch sch. 40 galv. steel, with an endcap and a 1/2 inch ball valve. I might get some bondo to make it look like a tube(I will but it in some 1 1/4 inch pipe and pour in the bondo, or cast epoxy. I have pointed the tip.

very nice build, and nice design for the piston.

sorry i haven't been on in a while guys, been bussy with pricks for bosses and bullshit inventory work lol. Also been playing a bit of WoW in my spare time.

feels good to be back though

What do you want damage pics of, its not a cannon, do you want me to shake up a soda can, and and open the valve? or do you want it of it going through wood? And if you are wonderin I run her at 70-100 psi.

Ingenious use of available materials there Blind, pitty about the blue paint job ( a work mate painted his pneumo the same colour).
Just what are you planning on shanking?

[blind909]

Here is a diagram of the shank and the piston. The blue is actually a quite dark blue, but the camera flash made it look alot lighter. I keep it by my bed . JK, I just stabb wood, plastic, and it will even shatter some 1 inch Thinwall pipe

I hope you're not planning on using this for revengeful purposes

[blind909]

I hope you're not planning on using this for revengeful purposes

Nope, yeah right, lol

Thats definitely not something you see everyday on here. What possessed you do build this?

[blind909]

I was bored, and saw a homemade pnuematic cylinder on youtube, and I thought id take it up a knotch

[Hotwired]

So, whatcha going to do with your captive bolt gun?

[blind909]

What captive bolt gun, the BAPCR? That has been stripped down for now.

[Hotwired]

Um. No, I mean this design you've posted in this thread

Compare a captive bolt gun and it's operation to what you've made and see what I mean.

Then back to what you're going to do with yours

[blind909]

Oh, almost the same, Good find Hotwired!
