Hi everyone i live in israel and i want to build my first gun, pneumatic, i got all the plans i wrote everything i need to buy i just don't seem to find where to buy the pressure rated PVC piping..... please anyone HELP (i think its a mad smiley but he just seem to be constipated). anyway i would like to get any help... or atleast some support thats SO lame...

Have a look here, apparently it's a bit hard to find pressure rated PVC in Israel - perhaps it's restricted because of fears it might be used in improvised weapons?

10q maybe do u know how can i check if its really restricted, anyway ty for the link but the post is from years ago i can't really contact him... anyway 10x for the support ill continue looking for some materials i just emailed a shop that sells some plumber stuff if they have any pressure rated PVC and on what sizes i hope they will have

If you stick to combustions you won't need pressure rated pipe

yeah but i looking more for the build and its so not a problem building a combustion I'm looking for a li'l challenge i know it can become complicated the combustion gun but i really want to build a pneumatic more power more reliable....

there are other materials you can use, a PET soda bottle is suitable to use as a chamber for example and very affordable.

JSR what is exactly a PET soda bottle???

[editedddd]: also in how much psi a standard PVC can take??

I mean like a plastic coke bottle - you can use it as an air chamber as in this launcher. You barrel doesn't need to be pressure rated so that's not a problem.

yeah but it kind of ruining my plans hehe... like i already said, i already made a design of the thing, i was like so ready to start building it when i searched for shops i got all like your avatar JSR...

Perhaps you should have researched what was available, before making conclusive plans...
That's like saying i'm going to build a space ship, then being annouyed I don't have the parts... LoL

Sometimes we need to make adjustment's to work with what we have...

I experienced about the same here in Holland, though we have pressure-resistant pipe, it all different here so I had to change my designs ALOT.
Its better to first look whats available to you and THEN design something with that.
Gathering parts for a design without doing that is harder then the designing and the building itself.
Since the part gathering is the "limiting facor" on your creations, you should adapt your designs to that what you got and try to make the most of it.

You could try PLUMBINGSUPPLY.COM They have every thing you could need......

They have sch 80 pvc pipe...I used it ,it works good...

Shipping costs to Israel might be kind of horrible though...

umm it might be very hard to buy pvc out the most supplyers cut off trade with the middle east cuase the pvc was used for the construction of motars9 bombshell launcher
look!





some how they fgiured this would stop some terrorist from shelling their enemy enemy..



keep on looking but it would be expensive!
