900 PSI?

Id say 500 is the limit.... What compells you to use 900 PSI and a blowgun anyway? (im curious and exited :D )

I personally stray away from shop blowguns at higher pressures. Its easier to jsut youse a BV. Not to mention I dont trust those blowguns.....

seriously start with something simpler and safer... even much lower pressures can be dangerous... when a pressure hose ruptures near you at 300 psi you'll know what I mean...

blowguns are cheap and designed to work at 150 psi (ussualy)... using them at 500 psi is already pushing the limits a little too much... you have to understand that some stuff might work ok above their pressure rating... but 'might' does not mean they always work...

I might be wrong but I think you are simply irresponsible

They start to leak at higher pressures...
and I believe that the discussion of making such a device is against forum rules.

i would say no to using a blowgun at that high pressure, so a pressure washer handle or ball valve would be your other options.

900psi for a standard blowgun?

I say go for it. They haven't handed out the Darwin Awards yet this year, and I'd say you'd be a shoo-in.

So seven people said no, but you still went for it? Why did you even ask?
