Hey Yes thats true medievalman, we should use the chat bit, but owel, we'll stop now, didnt relaise a straffer could do that uch damge at 65-100psi, maybe ill take your advise and have a shorter barrel, but have it so i can attach more on, for target shooting etc. or if someone really pisses me of, ill shoot dem :P Kidding.

hahaha yeah. Thurst thought of having a battery jump starter for a car connected to a 12v air compresser chucked into a backpack with the hose leading onto the blowgun valve.

Yeah not a bad idea huh? anyone got any thoughts on that, and i will get my dad (hes an A Grade electrician) to help me attach a on of switch to the Mini air compressor so i can turn it on and of, instead of having it on all the time, or having to plug it in or unplug it Lol. ive always wanted one of those battery jump starter for a car things :P attach to a mini air compressor in a backpack, would be good idea for skirmishes out in the fields :P :) :D

Not really. Those mini compressors are very slow filling.

Yes that is true.. Guess i could just hide whilst re-filling :P Or just when i get low on PSI Turn on whilst im still shooting that would work, if i had enough psi right?

I hope you don't mind me posting this here, if you do just let me know I will remove it immediately, but if you go to neospud.com, he's got A LOT of REALLY good ideas. Including, what I think to be, the solution to your chamber type problem, get a 5 lbs or so co2 tank with a backpack, i have a 10 - 20 lbs (not quite sure, neighbor gave it to me for working on his car, my other love, cars) that will fit on my back. If you make it a rifle, do an inline vortex with a bunch of non pressurized fittings, so in other words plug the bb chamber and just add fittings to it that wont ever see pressure. For the chamber idea, Dan003400 (you probably know him for being a retard) and I have drained a 10 gallon compressor in a flash with his clouds, but with my first vortex (Dan003400's first vortex, he posted it for me but took the credit and now hes banned) we could shoot for what seemed like forever, but that little chamber you've got won't do anything, unless it's pressurized to around 500-1000 psi. Hope I helped you out even a little bit. Oh I almost forgot, a pressure washer handle, as seen on neospud.com, looks aesthetically amazing, and are as ergonomic as you can get on bbmgs.

Good Luck

Hey guys, Ive built my cannon, but cant get pics yet, but it doesnt wok, when i pressurised it to 30 psi it doesnt seem to fire out BB's? Its got a 40mm (wide) 15cm bb chamber (like a cloud style) and a 20cm 2" air chamber, its like a cloud, except not hooked up to a Air compressor, it has a Air chamber attached for the air. but it seems llike the air doesnt escape quick enough for the pressure to work.

30 psi is way way way way way too low a pressure for a cloud. You will need about 60 psi (from what I've heard)

Also, your pressure chamber is probably too small. You need a really big one (like the ones on air compressors) so that the pressure doesn't drop too quickly.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Yea, that air chamber is hardly bigger than your bb chamber! It will probably drop from 30 to 0 psi in 0.034829 sceonds! Get a much larger chamber and higher pressure to solve your problems.
