I will definitely look into poly pipe when i get enough money to build my first pneumatic. I don't have a job or any income so it may be quite some time.

90 dollars for a sprinkler valve?
wow!
thats twice what my piston cannon cost to make!

Haha yeah. She's not cheap.....I was lucky enough to get it for 30 bucks because my mate works at a plumbing shop. Its so easy to see why it's so expensive. I have a $14 valve, a $30 valve and this $90 valve...It's so worth the money, its perfect.

yer thats quite a valve Mitcho, umm frankrede... it probably isnt that much for you...like me, Mitcho lives in Australia so what ever the exchange rate it would be like, i dont know at a guess $60 US dollars?

Could you please make a list of all the parts and tools you used to make this AWESOME gun, i live in Australia, so i can get poly!

Thanks

Nic

Yeah, perhaps you should look at this cannon and others a bit more, and when you fully understand them, you should be able to build it without plans. I say this because if you dont understand what youre doing, it probably wont work and it is dangerous. This is just a friendly piece of advice though, because I used to ask the same, and people generally dont like just giving out plans!

i know how they work, and all that... but i would like to know what szie pipe to use for the barrel, and what sizes for the rest!!

Hey mate thanks alot for the intrest in my cannon. I just hope you know what your doing. Just go with a 80cm pre-cut peice of 3/4in poly pipe, a 3/4 in ball valve and make yaself a thread on a coke bottle that matches the ball valve. For a first cannon, ya can't go anymore simple, reliable and cheap. Check out my 1st cannon. It's exactly what I just told ya to get. Everything about how to make it is inside the thread.

Best luck and happy spudding.

Mitch.

Oh, OK, sorry for the misunderstanding, I though you wanted in depth plans on how it works and every little piece of information given to you! sorry about that!
I think he used 1" and for the barrel 3/4" pipe works well for paintball but I think he said he used 15mm in the top text.

EDIT: michaz, you beat me there!

Thanks heaps m8,

Ur Aussie??

Yeah I'm an Aussie haha.

kewl lucky u lol

where you from nicbaz?

Australia !!!

hey seeing as this is a aussie thread mitcho, if i make a template for all us Aussies to put in our signatures (when we get them) would anyone be interested in it? i mean like a banner with personalized names and such on them?

oh mitcho question: could i get the specs of the barrel off ya? just O-D, I-D and wall thickness.

thanks
