Apparently no one understands that one without a picture! Problem is I can't make anything myself. iSoaker, I need you to make a flash of the CAP design! :cool: I don't understand that concept. If you are splitting water from air, the only way water will be pressurized if there is a movable divider...

For all interested. please read my article on why I feel that CAP homemade water guns are superior to all other systems. That design, tech23, definitely won't work correctly. The tubing expands not only in height, but in length as well. I'm afraid that the tubing will either scruntch up or push the...

I've made a simple balloon CPS homemade before - to sum up it's power in a word: bad. Balloons simply are silly to work with when you have something better - latex rubber tubing. And there's even a system superior to latex rubber tubing - constant air pressure! Balloons aren't very hard to work wit...

If the gun is only 3 days old, given that you have kept the receipt, why don't you return it? :) iSoaker essentially summed up what you would have to do if you don't return it. Just get some strong bonding glue and fill in the holes. Wait a day for it to dry and it should work again (though more da...

This Max-D 6000 is broken? Unlikely. This exact same thing happened to my CPS 1000, and I pushed the pump back through without a second thought. There shouldn't be any problems with getting it back in, but keeping the pump in is a different story. I've used a two-liter bottle cap with a hole drille...

While I lack the experience, wouldn't it be possible to re-laminate the stream using the 'straws and screen' trick just prior to the exit orifice of the nozzle if opting to use a larger diameter pipe? The may extend the nozzle region a bit and also result in some 'dead weight' water being left in t...

There is no advantage to using a power-washer gun over some other options. First off, the internal diameter is far too low for serious output, but if that is not what you are looking for, then this may be for you. Second, the price is far too high. Third, there are no real advantages to using a pow...

A 3-liter bottle works sufficiently. I haven't seen a Liquidator modified this way leak too much from the bottle attachment, and the extra water makes up far more than anything lost.

I am not going to rummage through trash. You won't have to. Most backpacks don't fit in trash cans. Mine was sitting next to the trash. It actually was a fairly rare Boy Scout backpack with a High Adventure patch (which adds to the rarity). I admit, it was pure luck, but there's no reason it won't ...

I found my second frame backpack in the trash. It was very dirty, slightly broken and missing a belt, but the belt can be bought online for about $20 (not that I bought one - I used the one from my first backpack because the second one was larger). After a good cleaning the backpack was essentially...

^ Nope, sadly it isn't a first. To the best of my knowledge, Dekard's water gun in which he invented Constant air pressure sounded pretty much about the same. I also believe that UberSoaker I posted was essentially a Constant gas pressure design. That's no reason not to improve the designs however....

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...

Misconceptions are everywhere... ??? First off, rubber CPS systems should not pump air into the pressure chamber. Air pumped in there would be a waste of space for water. The rubber itself powers the shot in that - no air is needed or will air help. I'll get to making a drawing of the Constant air ...

Let's get this straight - the Air Pressure Homemade water gun is a low-powered homemade. I made it for simplicity, but I knew that people would call it complex regardless of it's actual complexity. Try utilitizing Constant air/gas pressure . Also please read a few other articles I wrote in that Wat...

You could try nozzle drilling, adding a strap and all of those basic modifications. The only real modification however would be some sort of Piston conversion , not that I would recommend modifying anything to that extent.

Welcome Zeppelin! My modifications have all you need to know for every single modification listed. The older ones (from 2003 and early 2004) I will admit are lacking however. There's more than some there also... more than 20. How much more detailed do you need them? I don't exactly consider my 1500...
