Hi to all. i just joined not too long ago 9iv been building spud guns for a little while and now that in adding more difficult designs i figured it would be worth the time to join). Anyway i am working on my first more advanced pneumatic gun, with a QEV and such. but i cant find a blowgun for the trigger???? :cry: I can easily get the 90 psi $5 ones but i am looking for more in the range of a couple 100 psi. if you know where to look please let me know!!! thanks hahaha

Those $5 ones can handle 200 psi, I know because I have actually tried it. That rating is just a safety margin.

Yeah the 90psi ones are just fine. they dont even reach 90 most the time because its just a quick burst of air.

Actually, if the blowgun is used as the pilot valve then it has to hold that pressure for relatively long periods of time. Also, when you post, try to not post on older topics. Bumping unnecessary threads is, well, unnecessary. :lol:
