Ok well I asn't able to try it yesterday. Although I got to have a go about it today. So everything was going fine it filled up about 10 psi or so and then it started honking again. What is wrong with it? I would really like to know. This is my first gun I built using a sprinkler valve and it isn't ...

the bigger the chamber the more axe or whatevr you will need so therefore it will be more powerful. yes you could use just about anything for the barrel

"Ya but that would be EXTREMELY frusterating to get the right fuel mixture. It would work though. " That would be really really hard to not flood it. I have used many different bottles like gatorade bottles soda bottles plastic jars. water bottles anything that is strong enough to handle a small bur...

yes mini guns are very sensitive. you have to have it almost perfectly right. It took me a while to get mine working. but the screws need to be as close as you can get them without touching. And for you fuel you can use just about anything that is flammable but axe works the best I think. and you ju...

Ok from looking around I found to really really like the Mega-Launcher 2. On spudtech.com. The only problem is he wants $2000 for it. Now I was looking at it and thinking you could probably build it for about $300-$400 bucks right? Its really a simple gun with Supah-Valves and a sprinkler valve. The...

Ok i think i found the problem. It was just a stupid mistake i made. I took off the solenoid and I noticed the little spring thing inside was missing. I looked and looked it was in my room on the floor. it must have fell out. I think this was the problem but I didn't have time to test it. I used a l...

I am not sure by what you mean by honking. I turn on my compressor and after about 15-20 sec. of trying to fill my chamber it makes this wierd noise coming from the barrel. It kinda sounds like some kind of horn. Yes the arrow is pointing towards the barrel. I will try later on tonight to put apoxy ...

Took everything apart. There was no debris or pvc dust. Everything seemed fine and it looked to be sealed. The spring was in. I put everything back together. Made sure my screws were tight. Tryed it still didn't work. Could it possibly be how I attached my blow gun? I used a 1/4 x 1/4 Brass pipe cou...

Sprinkler Valve

Ok I just got everything I needed to finish my gun. I put it all together and modded my valve. Now when I go to put air in my sprikler valve is leaking :x . I still have my solenoid on so it can't be that hole. The air is just going straight through my chamber and once I have enough in there you can...

Best Gun

I have about $50-$70 dollars to spend on a gun. What would you say is the best? I would like to build a newmatic gun. Also would like interchangeble barrels but not a must.
