JSR style...well..the epoxy part is his style xD
Damage with a battery at kinda close range (2 yards?) it busted through the box behind that too and now I can't find the battery. It was on my second shot that the bottle popped. This is fired at an estimation of 35 PSI.
The first Shrader valve I used, it was too short, so I had to use my longer one that my dad got for me. Note the amount of epoxy on it. Because of what I thought was a leak, this isn't the first coat of epoxy, this was the third. (Other two was sawed off with Dremel, a pain in the butt.)
Looking down the makeshift sights xD
The busted bottle
The support I had to add because I ran out of epoxy, its .5 in PVC cut in half and taped
The hose+valve+part of the barrel+part of the support. The epoxy on the bottom is because I thought there was a leak there, I gotta cut it with my Dremel now.
The whole shebang

wow does that ever look sketchy!
I'd at least use a soda bottle to reduce the chances of it bursting, but personally i wouldn't go near that thing, i doubt the handle can take much pressure

Sadly, this is all I got,so cut me a little slack, willya? I'm switching that bottle out for a soda bottle as soon as I can. I'm buying a proper blow gun trigger ASAP as well. Also, the hose thing is fine, its all right and won't break anytime soon

Well with a fresh coat of paint and a wooden stock this will....probably still be very ghetto.
I wouldn't want that anywhere near me.

Hey, it won't bite, and naah, it looks cool as is, no wodden stock, I like to keep it real. But my next few projects might involve a stock...or stocks...

There, worse than Rickrolling.
Actually, it doesn't look as bad as I expected
2 or 3 litre soda bottle can safely be taken to 100 psi or so without blowing up, and gives you the possibility of more than one shot per fill.
I ran out of epoxy
I'm not surprised

Oh man, it's been a while since we had a Ghetto Award winner! Safe or not, it's a great use of found objects.
Here's your trophy, sir.
