ok, sum it most likely wrong with it, but thats what the forums are for, to save my life from crazy ideas. ok its a hybrid with a 1.5" sch80 sleeved into 2" sch80 for a chamber chamber and .75 cpvc barrel. a 2-.5 reducer on the back of the hybrid goes to a .5" T which goes to a schrader valve and a uber small .5" wide hose propane meter( theres a reg but i didnt put it in the pic.) its ignited by the bbq handle. and theres a gauge on the chamber i didnt put in pic, same with the union. i just plan on 2x mixes mostly maybe 3x if im feeling crazy  . tell me what u think um my monster mini.

| um.....union? you're gonna have your paintball's falling out of the chamber when you add the air lol. also, you'll need an adapter to go to CPVC, i'd suggest a male pvc adapter and a female cpvc adapter, or vise versa |

Umm, with 1.5 inch schedule 80 your safe up to a 6x mix, although that is really pushing it. You should try holding it by hand with a 5x mix.
Oh, and please don't try what I just said. |

| the union will most likely explode, i'd build a small stand for it, for higher mixes, but i'd do handheld for 1.5x and 2x mixes |

| I found a stainless steel reinforced union on McMaster that was 3/4 inch and was rated to 414 PSI. That would definetlyhold up to a 5x mix. |

| still wouldnt push it though, but it'd be cool to see a tiny bastard like that break the sound barrier, to date, i only know of 2 people who've broken the sound barrier with spudguns, spudinator, and jspellman |

| yeah, that might work, but what i'm worried about is the chamber, if you have a metal union, you're fine, but a PVC chamber with a 6x mix might blow, especailly if the mix is a little bit off |

| In a chamber rated to 600 PSI? Remember that pipe is rated to ½ its actual burst pressure (or so i think). SO a 6x mix in a chamber rated to 500 shouldnt burst, but then again, DDT really sucks when it happens to you. |
