Brain are you crazy 30-40 bar hand held? That is 441-588 psi. Do you want to snap not break snap your wrists and go around wearing casts for the next few months?

Sorry I know this is off the topic, but:
Dirty Dog, have I ever even talked to you before...? Have I even posted in this thread prior to this post [On my quick revision I cant find any posts Ive made in this 7 page thread].
Quite frankly I don't know what in the hell is going on. Anyway is this some jump at sympathy claiming you have four fingers, this in conjunction with my presumption that you consider your thumb a finger?
Hmmm, who's the noob?

Well take any sympathy you deem right.
Now that we have it cleared that you have four fingers, can we now get to this sling of hate? I don't see why I was the target of a picture which is supposed to be offensive in nature, when I have yet to reply in this thread, and I don't ever recall talking to me. I wish this point could be expressed, and finished off in your next reply so that we don't drag B the B's, thread off more then we already have. Also would you care to specify your age? [Confirming a hunch.]

Thank you recruit, for watching over me.
I was however already well aware of the wrist...I mean wrisk...urr..Oh man!!.
The gun will be able to withstand the pressure.....
But no I am not crazy, I will not take it to 40 bar anyway, I might end up Using "only" 16.
I don't know yet.
I will gradually work my way up.
As I said before, the recoil is my biggest fear.
I will eventually be too scared to go higher..
Ignore the baby guys
...Pimpmann, we are in need of some...."moderation"
Kick him off
Nobody talks to moderators like that!
He's not a constructive member.

Only 16

Jeez, Maybe you should invest in one of those SCUBA compressors and then you can get to 40BAR

That is weird.....
But back to the proper issue. It's dissappointing to hear that this cannon has gone west/south - whichever direction it is these days.
I hope to hear that it returns to working order soon.

It's only a matter of redoing one pipe.
Problem is I don't have any compression rings left.28 mm is pretty hard to come by.
I'll fix it, just not right now.
I have a CO2 bottle and a regulator.THe regulator now has a double spring, wich enables it to give off higher pressures.
I don't need a scuba tank to reach 40 bar

I've got plenty of 28mm compression rings lying around - I'll just e-mail you a couple of them... this will only take a moment...

Yeah I know, I was talking about the air compressors that charge them to 3000psi,

Alot easier then pumping

...but alot more expensive.

You think that’s crazy? It won’t snap his wrists. A 12gauge double barreled pistol that fires both barrels at the same time won’t snap your wrist, just you thumb, and give you a reel bad headache…I probably missed it but I didn’t see what caliber he’s going to shoot out of it, but if it’s a small bore, any thing under 1inch , I highly doubt that it’ll have that much kick, my big cannon with the heaviest round I’ve got doesn’t kick much more than a .357 magnum, yes I’m only using 100psi, but recoil is partially determined by how heavy the round is.
