phuematic sprinker valve problems

well my dual chamber sprinker cannon doesnt really shoot. it kinda just lets air out when you depressureize the sprinkler valves. you can watch the pressure gauge and see it drop pressure. it lets of a bit of a burst but nothin to justify 40 dollars per vavle to fire it with. my cannon has 2 3 inch ...

sprinkler valve not completely depresserizing

i have two 1 inch sprinkler vavles attached to my spudgun. one for each chamber. it seems when i de pressurize the valves it will let a burst of air but then after the main burst there is a trickle of air coming out after. it leaves some pressure in the chamber which leaks out slowly. is that normal...

thanks i wasnt sure if you kept the ratio of dry ice to water the same if it would be predictable enought to use for a gun. just one of those thoughts.

dry ice pressured cannon?

it was a thought awhile ago of mine to use dry ice to pressurize the chamber of a copper gun. dry ice here is cheap and always available to me. using the same amount of dry ice per amount of water you could get the same pressure each time right? of course i would do ALOT of testing to find the press...

modding sprinkler vlaves.

i was wondering when reassebling the sprinkler valves should i leave in the springs or remove them? i dont see what good they would do besides closing the valve when the pressure is low enought that the springs decompress. would you even notice the loss of this small amout of pressure? also should i...

well the hybrid gun is deff the most powerful but to complex and costly for someone like me to build so i will stick to the middle and say phuenmatic wins for praticality. my 3'x3" chamber 6'x1.5" barrel dishpan gun can put a spud 200-300 yards in a hurry.

dual sprinker valve spudgun vs piston valve\s

well my friends i are thinking about building a dual chamber (3" by 3') with a 1.5" barrel using two 1" sprikler valves. both of the valves would empty into the end cap of a 3" to 1.5 " reducer in seperate piece of pvc as to double the the airflow. as of right now we have a basic dishpan valve spud ...
