Thank you for your order. In the notes of your order, you asked if the PVC fittings you were ordering wer...

What is the operating voltage? 3x 9 volts = 27 volts? EDIT: Operating voltage is 24 volts, So 3x 9-Volt batteries should work fine. And to operate both Valves, just have them both hooked up to the 3 batteries. So, no you don't need 6, just 3. (THINK!) But it is highly recommended that you mod them, ...

Big or Small Fitting = Power?

Hello! I made a pneumatic cannon last month to shoot 1.75" easter eggs. I found it to be a little over kill for what I needed. (Its CO2 Powered using Kobalt CO2 System.) Anyways I decided to make a smaller more compact version, that gets me the most bang for my buck (aka CO2 # of shots) Here is my o...

No, I dont think the sparklers would light, by just the combustion.

Even over an open flame sparklers normally take a little while to go.

Could try a wick or something else...

No Ideas so far

Yea, Im pretty sure they are just paintball tanks...

Im looking for rapid fire rates, so I don't think the 12 gram co2 will cut it.

So anyone give me a link to a cheap/better alternative?

Fittings Help

I know nothing about PVC Fittings... Problem: Need to take a 2" SHC-40 PVC Pipe, and bring it down to a 1" for a sprinkler valve. Could I use a Bushing?

First I would go rob Gander Mountains Gun section along with everyone else in my town. Get plenty of 12 shells, sit on my roof with a lawn chair, and have myself a shooting contest.

My Plans: -BARREL: 48in(4ft) 2" Aluminum Barrel (1.75" ID) -CHAMBER: 3ft 2" SCH-40 PVC -VALVE: Modified 1" Sprinkler...
