Wow, you've got really dirty hands. Gloves?
Good amount of power. 
You seem to be a machine at pumping out launchers recently. |

The dirty hands is just spray paint, and yes I should of worn gloves.
And yes I have been building a lot lately, now that I have found an extremely cheap source of parts. |

Good work there BB! Compact design and very effective. I'm sure it's easy and quick to pump up to pressure. Also, the black paint job looks great!
Tip for the day: A little gasoline will take that paint off your hands, then wash it off immediately with soap and water. |

Well, the last time I looked, mineral spirits still costs more per gallon than gasoline....about 4X. And, we're only talking about a little splash in the hands, not enough to take a bath in.
He's more likely to have some lawn mower gas handy. |

Impressive for such a small chamber  It's probably nice to be able to pump it up quickly and still have plenty of power.
Hope you're careful of riccochets at such close distance. 
BTW that water bottle/spray can moved hellafastly(new word)
EDIT:BTW2: As far as gas prices cleaning your hands thing, guy in video owns 2 oil tankers I heardhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYNt-MlAu_o&feature=related  |

Starman: Gasoline idea is good, although I already got it off using a couple minites of hard scrubbing.
And yes it is very quick to pump up, takes about 5 seconds to get it to 100psi
ilovetoblowthingsup: Well I have loads of gas laying around but no mineral spirits, so Ill just go with the gas.
And starman is right, the gas is cheaper.
Sniper hero: I would do long distance shots if I had a exhaust for the piston valve that allowed me to shoulder fire it.
Right now with the ball valve there is no chance I will hit. |

ouchprogramme, as stated above the silencer hardly makes any difference in the sound, but it does make a tiny difference and it just looks cool 
Dumb kid:I really do need some sort of pilot I can shoulder fire with. Maybe Ill just go buy a sprinkler valve this weekend. |

Well in the cas of piloting, a 1in ball valve is more effective than a 1in sprinkler, this is because there is enough time for you to open the ball valve all the way before it fires and a ball valve lets more flow through than a sprinkler.
And I have had silencers be very effective before, especially on combustion cannons. The silencer just need to have a lot of volume, and this one has next to none. |

Hey what d'ya know you have the exact same pump as I did. I broke it on bottle rockets after realising it was shite ( but that was probably after i broke now that I think about it...)
P.s. nice paint job, it looks like one of my piston cannons |
