Okay asianinvasion,
that is officially the ghettoest gun EVER.
And I mean that. Until someone comes up with a 1 psi tissue paper launcher(lungs don't count) that receives the Ghetto award.
And also I am a little disappointed that a fellow Asian could not figure this out on his own :( . Just kidding man it's ok.

Cool; try getting a video up too. A longer barrel would really help the FPS, and for better accuracy, get as tightbore a barrel as you can.

also, the fps is greatly limited by the flow of your air tanks, try using larger/multiple tubes to get greater flow. Also, i know that it cuts down the amount of ammo you can have loaded at a time, but if you decrease the chamber size (of the pill bottle, i.e. use a smaller one) then it will take less air to get the balls flying and in cloud formation.

o, ive noticed that some or most or maybe all of you guys are in aussie, ive been reading through threads and people use beads as bb's because bb's are expensive there.

i was just thinking, if you lived near someone or a few people from the forums, you could buy a rice bag of relatively decent bb's for a bulk price and have them shipped there. then you can distribute them among people from the forums and have you all split the cost.

o , icic

anyway.. i cooked up one of my ghetto HPA tanks here. got it pumped to near 90. i dont kno how much more itll hold and i dont wanna try now, cuz its night... and if it explodes then.....yea

its a schrader valve cut from an old inner tube. i get them unlimitedly and for free from my local bike shop.

i just put some electrical tape on the valve, drilled a hole in the cap and stuck it in there. it holds a fair but not so good amount of air, because im using a smart water bottle, but soon ill be using 3 liter bottles
