Here is my little quiz should be easy for you guys to pass and should be educational for n00bs.post your answers in the topic and well see how you did! (shouldnt be a challenge for you guys.)
a=i can use that!
b=that will blow my face off!
This quiz is assuming you are making a pneumatic dwv is fine for combustions.

I use all that stuff! That means I am gonna blow up and or not? I also use straight C02 so its all safe to use.
Good quiz although I think I was hesitant on some of them.

It may be DWV, but DWV doesn't mean it's not pressure rated.

I am building a combustion, so I am going to have to go with a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a
Actually I am building a hybrid, so I am going to have to go with b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b
But in all honesty: b, a, a, b, b, b, a, a, a, b, b

Yep, Velocity is right!

But seriously, I knew that before I saw his answers. You can tell DWV 'cause it looks weird!

Don't you think it's kinda rude to put someone's cannon on here? The whole cannon was DWV, but it's still kinda rude.

You don't think the big 180 degree fitting in pic "hkghjhg.gif" will hold? That looks like something I can use for my next launcher.

Oi, you nicked my idea...
This quiz is assuming you are making a pneumatic dwv is fine for combustions.
I think the whole "DWV is fine for combustions" idea is doublethink (if you don't know what this is, go read "1984".)
A combustion can still take peaks of 70 to 80 psi, and shock loading is worse than a steady loading - and don't forget this is heated gas, which worsens the problem.
People say: "DWV isn't safe for pneumatics at all, even a low pressure one."
But yet the same people will say it's fine to take a shock loading at pressures over twice what they say it should be used at with a pneumatic.
For pete's sake, make up your minds. Either it's
acceptable (
not "fine") for low pressure pneumatics as well as low power combustions, or it's not suitable for anything.
Personally, I'm of the second opinion - we shouldn't promote it at all. We might occasionally use it, but we shouldn't say it's OK, because that will give newbs the wrong idea.

for simple combustions i would rather fork out the extra couple of dollars here and there for piece of mind when making spuds go bye bye
it looks a whole lot better as well.

Extra couple of dollars...Pffft.
Pressure rated parts cost around 3 times more in the Uk than DWV parts.

yea well im speaking in non pommy terms notice the word dollars? lol
but yea id rather not make one than use dwv
