First Pneumatic
Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 6:51 am
This is my first Pneumatic, only ever had experience with Combustions. And I have to say. Pneumatics. By far. I was overwhelmed by the power of these things.
All the white PVC is 32mm Pn12 Pressure PVC rated at 175PSI. 470mm Chambers and a 600mm Barrel, Irrigation piping. The black reducer and pipe looking things are threaded irrigation connectors/adapters. Not sure but they might be ABS, but there are 3 of them all doubled over each other. So a chance of a crack etc it will be the chamber. 15mm Brass ball valve and filling is a bike valve/schrader valve.
Currently had it to 85PSI not a leak in it, AA batteries fit perfectly down the barrel and at 85PSI will fly maybe 200M or more, not sure. Sorry about the green mess. I didnt want the pressure PVC cement to allow any leaks.
Anyway, seeing as its my first. You think its safe to take it up past 100 PSI? Maybe to like 120?
Cannon
Damage shot: Small rock at 45 PSI 15 Feet away. In this side.
