The Cheap One

Here's my first pneumatic gun. It has a 40" 1.5" chamber. I have a Lawn Genie Model 54004 on it right now, unmodded. I know I need to mod it, but I'm waiting for the cash to come in. Right now, I use either the 1" barrel for potatos or batteries, or the 1/2" barrel for marbles. This thing can shoot ...

Is It Safe?

Is it safe to bore out a PVC male adaptor with a dremel? I'm building a semi auto marble barrel for my pneumatic. I need to be able to bore out a 1/2" Sch. 40 male adaptor to fit a marble through. I usually run my gun at 80-100 psi, so would boring it out significantly affect its pressure rating?

How do I lube it?
Would that increase the performance?

Usually until all the air is gone, but the potato shoots out before the honking even begins. I thought the 72" barrel would fix that, but it didn't.

Yeah, air compressor with gauge. The batteries are in the can, kinda ghetto, but holds them real nice.

What is wrong with this gun?

The chamber is Sch. 40 1.5", it is 40" long. The two barrels I've tried are both Sch 40 1" both 36" and 72" long. I had a ball valve on it and could get about 150+ yds out of it. I figured it was time for an upgrade so I went to Home Depot and got a Lawn Genie 54004 1" sprinkler valve (no flow contr...

These would work pretty good, I think. They're cheap, like 4 for $1. They would implode nicely on impact.

Just a thought.

Propane Fittings?

OK, I'm a noob here. I have built two guns. One is a 4.5ft modeled after the Green Hornet from Advanced Spuds with a few changes. The other is a small handgun. Anyways, I have a problem. I use a lantern lighter on both right now, but I'm getting ready to convert the big one into a stun gun ignition ...
