This is my first spudgun. I decided to make it a pneumatic. It is all 1" PvC, which is all pressure rate. I used a simple 1" ball valve, since this is my first. I havent take specific measurements on everything yet though :lol: . I have launched it at 80 psi a couple of times. I used ice cubes, Marshmallows, and pencils out of it. It is surprisingly powerful. It shot a marshmallow clean through two layers of cardboard. I filled it with my bike pump. I cant find out how to lower the file size of the pics. If someone can help me with that, its greatly appreciated. :)

go to paint and press the image tab and press strech/screw and change the 100% to 50 and save as something else.
