I think that's a perfectly acceptable group at 20 meters.

Re: Backpack air supply project.

[youtube]http://youtu.be/mUjqEcFMBYY[/youtube] Here's the first full test of the complete pack. The supply of air lasts a long time. The big problem is once the ammo supply is about 1/2 or 2/3 empty I start to get feeding problems. I only get about 10 sec. of reliable feedng. In an attempt to fix th...

Re: DWV PVC Fittings

Don't do it!!! No they're not the same. You will need to find a contractors plumbing suppy. There should be one in your area. You won't find anything pressure rated over 2" in most home improvement stores.

Yes you've probably seen it done, but they were idiots, don't be one yourself. :wink:

Re: Burst Disk Pneumatic Q's

Then I'm going to need to buy a new barrel :D Sorry for all of the questions but, with such length I thought of getting two 4" elbows and making it an under over style cannon, but I was afraid of losing power. How much power would this eliminate from the cannon, and is I used 2" elbows instead woul...

Re: Burst Disk Pneumatic Q's

That would look amazing; an unrelated question though, is a C:B of 1:1 the most effective? I've looked around a little bit but didn't find a single thing on pneumatic burst disks' C:B ratio. I thought of this a little later as well: I'm alright at math but I suck at wrapping my head around some of ...

Re: " Old Shatterhand" 5 shot mag now cycling on vid.

More Girandoni, this time on Forgotten Weapons - this seemed the right place to put it :) great gun ! I hope sometime in the near future i will be able to attempt a replica...... I traveled the U.S. Black Powder rendezvous circuit as a dealer and competitor for about 13 years, so the Girandoni has ...

Re: Anyone try a PVC Rocket?

I thought i might try to sell a few on the side of the road once everyone starts shooting fireworks. I tried to rig them for safty, i put a nail in the barrel under the flash hider thing to prevent stuffing anything down the barrel, also the barrel fits in loose so if there is anything blocking the...

Re: Backpack air supply project.

8) Palmer's Pursuit has the fittings and regulators you need. http://www.palmer-pursuit.com Thanks for the link. I did not see a regulator for my o2 tanks at Palmers, but maybe I'm looking for the wrong one. I'll try to remember and take a photo of my bottles when I get out to my shop this weekend. ...

Re: Opinion on my video?

I think you need more info on how it works. At least a glimps of the internals would give the noobs of the world some idea of how it works. For commercial purposes, showing how it works is counter-productive ;) Most of the time when you're marketing something commercially you have a patent to prote...

Re: Backpack air supply project.

If you're having issues with low-flow from the regulator, why don't you put a small accumulation tank between the regulator and the gun? Not a bad idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I do the same thing on my 66 Volkswagen to the fuel line. The dual Weber carbs suck so much fuel the smal...

Re: Backpack air supply project.

Why not a regulated paintball tank setup? Not too expensive, much more compact. Large volume low pressure tanks do not make too much sense. I'm also using the pack to power a Über Soaker. I have kids and summer is coming fast. I have 4 low pressure compressors ranging from 3 gal. to 65 gal. So high...

No. The United States was intended as a free nation, and only one of the seven key founding fathers (generally considered to be John Adams, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Washington) was orthodox Christian - John Jay.

Re: "Offtopic-posts-topic" NSFW

Anything that starts with a list of religious quotes to justify something immediately loses my respect. the U.S. Was founded on Christian values by Christian people so it's very appropriate. In any case, you're confusing corruption and tyranny. Yes, they're related, but no, they're not the same. ha...

Re: Brand New, Need some assistance - Tennis Ball Cannon

Welcome to Spudfiles. Sourcing parts can be a pain in the back side depending upon where you live. Normal hardware stores generally don't carry anything over 2 inch. On occasion they will have 3 inch, but I've yet to see one carried the 2.5 inch pipe needed for tennis balls. Search your local area f...
