co2 regulators help
howdy im new to the air cannon world and im trying to build a over under cannon iv got everything done but a regulator and i was wondering if a pressure regulator from an aircompressor would work or would it blow either the reg or the cannon up

Hooking up a compressor regulator to a CO<sub>2</sub> supply would likely exceed its input specifications (800 psi+ when it's usually used at 150 psi tops), I don't think it would actually blow up but it probably wouldn't work very well after that...

Are you using PVC cement and primer? If you are using it correctly, your joints should be stronger than the pipe.
Life's too short to mark off the items on your wish list...

I'm getting the impression you ought to do a bit more research before physically playing air pressure and pneumatic launchers...
