I suppose, but any way you look at it, cell core abs is one of the weakest types of pipe to use. If you used pressure rated pvc your gun would be strong enough to take higher pressures. This would enable the gun to be enhanced with propane or mapp meters and a chamber fan.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

cell core pvc is the enemy.
Not abs.
