Yeah I reckon 300psi would be good. With the low volume of my pump, it would take a bit of pumping. The only problem I have is the actuating valve.. A sprinker valve would pop at pressures over 200.... hmmmm...

My thoughts exactly. A 1'' BV with a 3/4'' long bend handle and a custom trigger, like the setup on my whammy guns

.
Hmm I might get myself a meter of 3/4'' aluminium tube as the barrel... I don't trust that 300psi spike in pressure that's gonna be running through the pressure pipe. Plus if it's polished, it'll look so so good
