Pressures higher than 150 psi are extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs (unless you're insane). Xray tried 350 psi in a metal tank and reportedly it shot out the entire contents in less than a second on a nozzle about 1/8" if I remember correctly. I'm talking about a gas tank for a...

the way a CPS system works is that the pump pumps air and water (from the tank) into the pressure chamber. when the trigger is pulled, it opens the valve to the PC and the water exits. there is a good diagram of this somewhere on SCC (dont know the link) but it was gor a water machine/gattling gun ...

Try utilitizing Constant air/gas pressure . Also please read a few other articles I wrote in that Water Gun TechLog. Thanks for the advice. It would be easier to visualize the CAP system if there was a drawing or something to illustrate the water/air circuitry. I'm guessing you have a water tank, a...

So your not just going to build the Air Pressure Homemade described in SSCentral? Thats what I would reccomend, those are extremely powerful. It would take a lot of CO2 to have your water gun last for long, and it probably wouldn't be that powerful, either. I'll probably build something that's a ri...

BTW, I notice you're active on a bunch of lists where people use bike pumps to pressurize their homemades. Instead of a bike pump, they could use the CO2 inflators you find in this Froogle search: http://froogle.google.com/froogle....oring=p I think if I build mine, I'll put a pressure guage on the...

SSCentral is the best source for information about homemade water weaponry. Building a water gun is a pretty big engineering project Using the CO2 makes it a little complicated, but building an air or constant pressure homemade out of pvc and fittings is very easy. I would reccommend making one of ...

Brief intro: I'm old. By the standards of this group, really, really old. But I hang with a fun bunch of people, and my wife is in a roller derby league. Well, a challenge has been called, and at this summer's roller derby convention, a water war has been declared between leagues. In Downtown Las V...
