Cheers. I bought the chrony (F1 shooting chrony) online and second-hand for $90NZD. They can be found on eBay new for $70USD last I recall.

I got four of those valves for $20; the seller told me they were over 25 years old! :shock:
I managed to put together 2 complete valves from them with enough spare parts to fix any issues that may arise.

Some harmless summer fun, only 160psi, stay tuned for much higher pressure (the gun can handle 800 psi)

Is my post not showing up for anyone else? I can't see it..

Anyway, three flechette rounds, one shot. It's a pretty good spread and decent penetration for the pressures involved.

@LnL: you've got the wrong slash in the closing tag for your URL. It should be "/", not "\".
