Co2!! You get one of the 12gram Co2 bike tire fill things to charge it.

You could charge with a hand pump, easily; why would you need a generator, why would a genertor even help?

I dont do paint balling so im not sure if this has been done already but i was thinking about making a mine whitch u burry in the ground with the chamber burried and have a burst disc with a four-way coupling on top whitch both the horizontal ends go to barrels whitch piont up and on the vertical endof the 4 way coup having a pin on a spring and maby a cap with square plank of wood on it so when u step in the plank it pushes the pin into the burst disc which then releses the pressure out the two horizontal barrels whitch may just like stick out of the ground with like sprinkler heads on it or simply an end cap with heaps of holes so the paint sprays about the area for groups or somthing...
sorry for the big post and
pvc asenal, nice mine

wow... im speechless. you know that someone would have to be pretty stupid to walk right up to it while youre waiting to pull the trigger.

you could easily make a land mine like that one person said with my idea too.

Alright, someone shut this kid up.

Until I see something half-decent from you, keep your comments to yourself. Apparently you know best so show us the way.

Uhh, no. You fill once it and the burst is delayed. You seem to have missed the point entirely. It does work.

Seriously. Evidently you know more than anyone on this forum, and you've been here about a week. Teach us how to be like you, I'm begging!

Ausome design PVC Arsonal. I dont see much improvements you cound do to make it cheaper, or better. everyone must of missed when you said
I've been trying to come up with some sort of pneumatic mine for ages. It had to be small, cheap, easy to build, and the most challenging- it had to have a delay.
because all of there designs have been large in size, expensive, hard to build, or triggered and not delayed. For what you were trying to do I think yours is perfect. Keep up the good work/thinking.

pvc this is a intersting design. jjk92 that looks good but if you step sqare on it the power will just gets stuck to your shoe.

Chimps it is because of people like you that I spend most of my time on spudshot. All you have done is 1. insult PVC Arsenal 17, 2. get on every ones nerves, 3. insult jjk92, and last but not least 4. proved how ingnorent you are.

I think we drove Chimps out...

But back on topic: Still searching for the perfect burst disc. I'm thinking wide electrical tape is best. I fill it with one squeeze on a co2 tire filler. Pretty good delay, but still working on it.

Hah! I have beaten your idea. Gimme a week to make and post it, it's even simpler, activated by a hook that you pull out, and it's more compact. And still in the under $10 range! I'm going to make at least 4 of these.
No one ask for a diagram, I WON'T make one.
