I built this one a few years ago and haven't really had the time (or money) to build a better one yet. Figured I'd upload it just for the hell of it. The whole thing is constructed of galvanized steel pipe, with a 3/4 inch chamber connected to a 1/2 inch barrel. I used a 250 psi rated schrader valve...

My main problem is that I can't afford a proper compressor.

I know these tend to fail fairly quickly. I was just looking for a quick way to power it (since I was absolutely broke).

I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback.

I just bought a cheap compressor (the kind commonly used for filling car tires) and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could get a converter to power it from household current; I don't want to have to start the car every time I want to shoot. Compressor specifications: 12V DC, 8A, 96W; plugs into...
