Constant Air Pressure to Pulsed Air.

An excellent topic was posted recently at nerfhaven that explained how the air system in a certain nerf gun changed a constant air supply into pulsed air. I think that this could be very useful in developing a fully automatic airsoft gun. Here is the topic- http://nerfhaven.com/forums/index.php?show...

Heavy bbs aren't coated with aluminum, they are coated with graphite. Aluminum isn't much heavier than plastic; it wouldn't make much sense to coat a bb with it.

Dude, quit complaining. Any place that offers a good deal on bbs will be selling them in bulk only. That means expensive shipping costs. Quite frankly, bbs when ordered in bulk are fucking heavy. PS- If you order 100 bucks worth of .2 gram bbs off the website that I linked to, you would get 60 thous...

When I go to Ace hardware, the clerks almost always ask me if they can help find something. I usually say 'Thanks, but I know where to find it' and they leave me alone. But the last time I went to Ace, this guy kept on asking me if he could help, giving me "the look" and followed me around everywher...

Try mixing the epoxy VERY thoroughly, and make sure that the proportions are correct. I used to think that every epoxy I had was just a bad batch, or a bad brand. I was really just not mixing it well enough, or mixing it in the wrong proportions.

It looks as though he just took a regular spring powered airsoft gun from walmart, took out the piston, handle and trigger ect. and attached a blowgun to the the tube the piston would normally be. (Oh yeah, and it's not exactly semi auto if you have to cock it after each shot to load a bb into the c...

Alright, I'll try putting about 75 psi into it, and if it begins to fail, I just might have to peel it all off, and re glue it with something stronger.

Alright, here's the deal. I haven't yet gotten a chance to test out how much pressure it can hold, but I'll try to soon. The set up is like this- A fire extinguisher tank, with a 1/2 brass ball valve glued inside of the top. There is also set screw (that I made out of a 5/16" bolt) that is wrapped i...

Just a quick question

From your experience, how much pressure can Plumbers-Goop ("Amazing Goop") hold? I used it to seal a tank on my pneumatic, and I don't want to put too much pressure in it.

Why not buy a normal paintball regulator like this one?

A quick question about epoxy.

I bought some Ace Hardware "60 minute epoxy" because it supposedly cures stronger than the regular stuff. I am using it to fill a quarter-inch hole in a pneumatic cannon, and I was wondering if it normally takes longer than two days to fully cure. It is kind-of pissing me off, because I have waited ...
