Ok I'm sorry if this comes the out the wrong way but a gun that size and power and the only pic of dmg is a "thin" plastic I belive it can shoot through alot more then that have you tried anything harder?

see those ball valves attached to the tank? that can possibly stop a unwanted discharge.

see those ball valves on the sprinkler valves? that too can stop a unwanted discharge.

how would i be able to trigger the sprinklers at the same time?


The ball valves on the tank are to make the chamber smaller so it is easier to pump. I don't need huge chambers for my mini barrel.

connect the sprinklers to a single ballvalve or blowgun using a T in the middle.THat way you should be able to set them off at the same time

does a blow gun have enough flow to trigger both sprinkler valves?

Yeah. I don't know how well it will trigger them, although it will certainly be better than the soleinoid that comes with them - if you want, you could use a small (3/8") ball valve... it'd be roughly the same price.
