I found a place locally that sells 2.5" PVC for about $1 a foot. Only thing is minimum of 20ft. Still though, at BC Arms I'd pay $15 + shipping for 5ft. They also sell SDR21 for about $.50 a foot. Here's my question: can you still shoot potatoes outta a golf ball barrel? Is it just like shooting the...

Help with golf and tennis ball barrels.

How can I do this? I read somewhere that 1.5" PVC works, but...it doesn't. The ball is too big (for golfballs).

Is 2.5" PVC the exact right size for tennis balls?

Make one? Gosh maybe I'll just stick with aqua net. Works well, everytime. We're trying the butane lighter method tonight. How could I hurt myself??

Hey guys I got some propane today and I've been trying to get it to work but I just can't get the mixture right. I have an 18" chamber (3" diameter) with a normal bbq sparker. I've tried putting a lot, and putting a tiny bit. Any tips?

Static Guard and Oust = Dont Work!?

So, after reading this forum for a while I noticed that most people either use propane, butane, or an aerosol. For aerosols, most people seem to use Oust or Static Guard. So I go to the store, pick them both up, and cant wait to get home and try them. I get home, try them both, neither work. Just "c...

Is propane pretty much the same? Like the little green canisters? It's super cheap at the Wal Mart here...$4 for 2 canisters. And what exactly does metered fuel mean? And what is MAPP? Also I've upped the CB ratio to .95:1. Is this a good balance between efficiency and power? Lastly, will potatoes g...

Yeah I'm in Texas. We have home depot and lowes here. Will they have it? Also my gun is combustion.

Are tennis balls worth shooting? Or should I do a 1.5" instead? Also does 2" or 1.5" potato "slug" shoot further? I would guess 2" cause it has more mass. What do you'll think?

I'm realizing that I'm retarded and you're right. Is 2.5" PVC hard to find? Fittings and piping?

No I have a 4" chamber but the end cap and other stuff are 1" bigger. Isn't that how most guns are? Also I found a 5" to 4" reducer on Amazon for $3 surprisingly enough.

I'll check out sprinkler.com. Thanks!

P.S.
Does it sound like I'm making my gun wrong?!?

Just went and shot my old gun. Calculated that it shoots at about 330mph, or 224 ft/sec. Not too bad since my friend and I just threw parts together.

Any ideas on the butane? Would it shoot further than aqua net or right guard would? I wanna be able to shoot as far as possible.
