Honestly, don't you think that that pneumatic pressures that high are a bit overkill? Even the biggest precharged pneumatic rifles (like the career dragonslayer 50 cal) are only pressurized to about 2000-3000 PSI. If you can drop a deer or larger game with one (which is what they are made for) then...

My brother was a boiler tech in the Navy, you should here some of the highpressure steam leak stories... Former Navy here.... Yes, high pressure steam is nothing to be trifled with. We would keep cans of broom handles around. The handles were for finding steam leaks. Keep in mind.... At those tempe...

Operatorchan

Hey I was on the imageboard Operatorchan today and someone on the board made a reference to Larda's hybrid.
I notice that Theopia is a linked on Operatorchan and this reference leads me to think that the site does have connections to spudfiles.
Anyone else here who posts on Operatorchan?

The problem in pvc is that it fails "explosively", sending sharp pvc pieces evrywhere. As many times as I've heard this, I've never seen it happen or heard of it happening to sched 40 or better PVC. Yes, clean-outs fly off, chamber/barrel transitions have cracked, barrels have cracked off into a ha...

Even if you were to find pressure rated fittings and pipe that size, you would be looking at hundreds of dollars. For example, a 3" PVC tee, rated at 150psi (McMaster part number 46885K158) costs $56 edit: and it comes with a warning: WARNING Never use plastic pipe fittings with compressed air or g...

A better example than my work The above example could be easily modified to full auto by using a pop-off valve for a pilot valve. The cannon jack posted (images are dead) simply uses a Q.E.V. with a pop-off pilot, and an air source. I used a 90 PSI pop-off to reduce air consumption, but it really d...
