hahaha lol i've allready shot it threw some wood from 20m+ but the wood was only like 7mm thick :P Nah i cant get higher pressure atm, my pump is retarded, the clipon piece blows off at 80psi or when i get to around 80psi it wont pump anymore and then the pump blows open sometimes. Nah i dont know fps, i dont have a chrono and i dont wanna buy one. Yeah my dad can be cool at times :P

Cheers thursto.

Is the silencer really making a difference or does it just add weight.

Yes it does work, depending on what im shooting, if its a loose marble with wadding, then no, but it dos take some of the sound out, but if its a cut potato that has been made to fit th barrel, then yes with the silencer instead of a bang its more of a pffft wit a lower sounding bang. :P Yeah i just filled out my paypal form for the scope i want to get, should be hear withing a week.

I know that people say iron sights are better, but i want a scope.
Ive got some new pics of it, with a black tape "paint job" sort of thing, i dont want to paint it, because spray paint usally rubs off.

Ill start uploading the new pics on here now.

EDIT: Btw those "green stains" arnt primer stains they are glue stains :( The primer stains are the ed ones, and i know my 2' to 1' bushing is horrible!!!

Is the inner pipe of the silencer solid or does it have holes in it because a real silencer works when the expanding gases expand in the silencer and you dont here as big as a bang. I dont see why it wont work with all projectiles and even with out them because sprinkler valves are fairlly loud.

The blowgun triggers the sprinkler valve. Have a look here http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/the-spr ... 16786.html
