Water Warriors Gorgon (AP) Internals

Post by martianshark » Mon Mar 14, 2011 10:02 pm

I opened up my Gorgon, but unfortunately, I lost my camera. I'll tell you what I can.

The pressure chambers are just regular air-pressure chambers, held in place by two screw things.

It has a pull valve.

It isn't a single pressure chamber with two tanks. I'm pretty sure the PCs are seperate.

Edit: I took a picture the old fashioned way.

Can you confirm if it has a pull valve?
Does the tubing look larger than it appears in the picture?
How do the PCs compare to the original in physical size?

I already said it has a pull valve.
The tubing is maybe a little bigger.
The PCs are the same size as the original Hydro Power chambers of course. They're a pretty good size.

It looks like the PC's are now completely separated pieces, given that your drawing is accurate.

Any estimate on the size of the pull valve? Is it close to the size of that of the medium CPS's?

I'm pretty sure it's smaller than a medium CPS. I closed it up again and I'm not going to open it to measure the pull valve right now.

Looks like no improvements have been made to the ID of the piping going around from the PC to firing valve. The rest looks pretty good though; I've tried a few triggers in stores and they operate much more responsively than the ball valves do. Not sure how performance is affected though as I never picked one up.
