APH - MINI SIZE - BIG POWER

Post by GJIV » Wed May 11, 2011 12:53 pm

Hi there, my great membership^^

After wetmonkey442 posted a thread with his MINI APH, I was forced(by myself :D ) to show you my smallest APH gun and also CPH ever:

It is mostly designed as a SC-gun. Here are the technical datas:

Reservoir - Non
Pump volume - Non
PC volume - 1560 ml
Range - depending on nozzle 10-15 meters
Firing time - depending on nozzle, smallest nozzle is 10 seconds, then the range closes down to under 10 meters
Pressure - 130 PSI
While it might seem to be very fragile, I can make sure, it is NOT. The bottle is totally hard when filled, just like a stone or a big PVC-pipe. the valve is out of metal, also NOT fragile, and that's it :D

I will add a strap and then you can just carry this around with you, always having a incredible back-up with you^^
Filling is even more pleasant, just go to the hose, check in, put on the water, disconnect and finished! haha

This model was also made as CPH with a CPS bladder inside the bottle.


Reservoir - Non
Pump volume - Non
PC volume - 1356 ml
Range - depending on nozzle, mostly 12 meters
Firing time - depending on nozzle, smallest nozzle is 21 seconds, biggest is about 1-2 seconds
Pressure - unmeasured

Being a CPH this makes the back-up weapon even greater. It is just as you have a smaller Splashzooka with you, being able to blast out 1,5 litre in 1-2 seconds, haha. So if the worst comes to the worst and you are out of water do remember: You have a kind of CPS 2000 in reserve :D

The best back-up- weapons ever made, now, having a strap, I will always carry one of these with me in a battle. Carrying 1,5 kilogram around is not even noticed by me :D

Hope you enjoy :goofy:

Is that bottle designed for carbonated drinks? If not, you'd best use one that is but even then, the integrity of it is not guaranteed, at least not under higher pressures.

Perhaps this would be better with a small air pump (say, tiny-bike pump) hooked up so you can continue to pressurize as the air pressure drops off.

The PC really empties 1/2 at great pressure, the next 1/4 has still a good pressure and the last 1/4 has a loss of power. This says that 1200 ml are fired out at a very good pressure. Using the biggest nozzle the PC is emptied at 1-2 seconds(45 X::), so you do not really mind this dropp-off then.
Also the bottle is Prae-pressurized with 30 PSI, so the PC is emptying itself totally.
All this is based on the APH-model. These are problems with air-pressure guns;

Therefore I built this gun up as a CPH too, the Air-PC simply replaced by a CPS bladder which really makes the best out of this mini Soaker^^ The mechanics are smaller than the Super Soaker XP 215...it is really so tiny but powerful, haha ;)

oo, and it is a SODA bottle. This is tested at 170 PSI, so it does handle my 130 PSI without problems...Apart from this it would not be the first time that such a bottle explodes in my hands... :P
