Hi everyone, this is my first time posting a pneumatic launcher i made and my first time using a QEV. I know its nothing spectacular but it shoots double A batterys really fast! I do not have a chronograph sadly. This is one of my first projects and i am hoping to have more soon!
Shooting test-

One of my first launchers was a battery launcher.  I used sprinkler valves with battery operated solenoids.  Performance was garbage, but it was fun.  It was a fun thing and you also have a fun thing.  I'd like to see yours work.

I also had a sprinkler valve powered air gun for my first pneumatic launcher it just shot marbles! Very weak, but fun to shoot around.Moonbogg wrote:One of my first launchers was a battery launcher.

Nice work for a first build! Looks like the first shot hit head-on and the second shot hit sideways.
Any reason you're shooting at night?
