yup it is modded, the chamber is a fire extinguisher.

ive shoot a sabotted AA battery through a can of water,3layers of jib and cardboard box at the same time(115psi)

and ive done better with a caulking dart using a spade drill bit instead of a nail.

here are some pics using a nail:

how did you manage to get the fire extinguisher to fit on the valve, just luck or did you have to drill a fitting into it. Also does it make no difference if you leave the soleniod part in the valve because most people seem to glue over it.

I used a fitting from the inside of the FE that sucked up the powder and it happened to fit the threads and on the other end of it was 1/4" threads so it was luck really, it may differ from other brands. I left the solenoid in as it made no difference,it was sure to stop the leaks and its a nice 'palm' rest on your hand so your finger isn't always on the trigger and it stops me from accidently triggering the gun.

I like the chamber. with a welder, we need to see some all steel cannons from you. :wink:

lol,I made a new copper barrel so its now all metal(except the valve) and it sports 2 FE's as chambers.
Jib is like dry wall stuff, if you have a hole in your wall you put it where the hole is so its smooth and flows with the wall and there are no dents and then you put grouting shit over it and then paint it. Its pretty hard to break in half as its built in layers and has loads of shit on the inside.
