nice cannon, i 'm glad i am the first to comment i was wondering how you had the nail positioned in the fitting. ps: you should add a single shot barrel just for fun and record the fps :twisted:

looks like fun :-D

Now make it so reloading the bearing and opening up the Valve is done with one lever.......

Dreams aside, I like it. Functional. Although I don't trust either that "sprinkler" (yes I know its metal) or the blowgun. I'm surprised they're holding up for you actually.....

i have a question. You say it runs at 50 bar right? so how does the sprinkler valve work then? most have a diaphragm which at 50 bar would rip. Actually it would rip around 13 bar. wouldn't make it close to 50. so are the internals of that valve different then most?

A QEV piston/diaphragm isn't expected to be alive at 850psi either. However it has been done.

The valve looks identical to every other inline diaphragm valve, it's just made of brass and not plastic.

I'm just surprised the blowgun with such a short lever could be pulled at that pressure ^^

When filling the you could see the lever being pushed out by the pressure it was not much harder to pull as well.

It operates at 56 bar, as you are using unregulated CO2. I highly suggest that you never use any compressed gas whose pressure you don't know, or you will end up only half the man you used to be.

How can you say that co2 changes pressure with temperature. :? :?:

And i also think that now the post is locked about my spelling it is being transfered into my posts, yes i put a f instead of a t but i corrected it soon after get over it.

It's just best to have all punctuation and so on in first time round.

e.g.

Code: Select all

How can you say that co2 changes pressure with temperature.
Well that reads like a question asking why someone is saying that CO2 changes pressure with temperature.

But...

Code: Select all

How can you say that? CO2 changes pressure with temperature.
It's now saying the opposite: that you know CO2 changes pressure with temperature and what is he on about.
