You haven't provided any information about your LRT, so it's hard for me to say. The required pressure depends on the tube. All I can say is that you need more.
it is the same as the LRT in your superCPH guide

You should need at least 40 psi as I recall, perhaps more. Not all home water systems will be able to reach that pressure. You can buy a pressure gauge to test your water pressure.

Probably, but I don't know much about that. You should look into making a pump for your homemade blaster.

After a lot prototypes I realized that trying to fit it all into the xshot Is not the best idea I am currently looking at using plastic or carbon fiber rod/Channels as the skeleton I will be looking into options for the outer shell next i will be looking at more blaster before abandoning the idea though. Using Reservoirs and pumps from off the shelf blasters still seems the right choice.I plan to wrap up this by the end of the summer. Until next time soak on!

Just a quick update I believe that a lever for the trigger is the optimized solution thanks to leverage and trigger pull it provides
