co2 powered

[sergeantspud2]

this is my first co2 gun and it turned out pretty well. it is made of pvc painted black. i haven't got the psi on it yet i need to get a gauge. it has a 1" ball valve, co2 12 gram adapter, and an another adapter to go from asa threads to 1/8" npt. i haven't thought of a name any ideas.



the white barrel kind of messes it up i will paint it

You should get a modded sprinkler valve on it.

i thought about it and its not too late but this is my only second pnumatic and i didnt really under stand the benefit over a ball valve. does it have more flow or something?

[iamthewalrus]

how is it to late now?? did u solvent weld the ball valve on?? u could just unscrew it

[Cole]

He said it is NOT too late. Yes a modded sprinkler valve will boost your performance like you wont believe.

[iamthewalrus]

o, now i feel really stupid, i mis-read it, sry

[saladtossser]

a modded valve opens faster

[sergeantspud2]

ok i'll probably get a toro one because i heard they are rated at 200 psi. does anyone have any ideas for what i should call it?

[Cole]

Well if we think of a name it wont seem as "special."

[sergeantspud2]

alright i'll think of one and thankyou for the help

[spudshot]

why buy one rated to 200 psi? i hope to hell you dont plan on puttin that much in that little cannon, any sprinkler vavle will be fine

[sergeantspud2]

no i just like to be safe and why wouldn't i put 200 psi the pvc says it is rated at 230? just a question i'm not going to put that much pressure.

[iamthewalrus]

because if u put the much stress on a pipe constantly chances are it will give out in the future. like saying u can hold absolute max, body cant take anymore of like 200 lbs, imagin some on egiving u 195lbs then taking it away like once every ten min if u shooting a lot and then like a 12hour break then having it all over again, eventually ur legs are going to give out. and musle growth isnt effective here because pipe doesnt get stronger. thats the best i can explain it

[spudshot]

plus the ratings are for water pressure, air pressure acts much differently, if it blows, instead of the water just maybe cracking the pipe or something, the air will make it explode into hundreds of pieces of shrapnel

ok thanks

i just got some C batterys and they fit perfect
