paintball air cannon (new pic's on page 3!)

ok, so if the chamber was was 1mm thick and it says it can go to 250psi do u think it's true!!!

i think it's better to have a thicker wall and have it say 200psi then a thin wall saying 500psi

If it was 1 mm thick, I damn sure wouldnt use it, cause I have a
tendancy to drop stuff.

Well you said scrap the whole chamber which he doesn't need to do.

Ok, Just scrap the bell reducer.

[stevenarroyo]

am just saying what would u like to use.

a chamber that is thin that says it can go up to 200psi,
or a thick chamber that says it can go up to 150psi

i would pick the thick chamber

[Sticky_Tape]

I would use it do you know why manufacturers don't take a rating out of the blue and sticking it on the pipe because people like stevenaro would be getting blown up if it is olny safe at 10psi and they rate it to 200psi

Discussion of this guys chamber and fittings rating ends here.

Chances are the bell reducer is DWV, which means it's not meant for pressure and could possibly fail. It is up to you if you want to change it or not. I'd recommend it. Then again it could be pressure rated, to check read this topic:

You guys spent a page and a half bickering about this, pointless. Just comment on the guys cannon from now on.

stevenarroyo,
If a pipe has a higher rating then another, no matter the size or material, always go with the higher rating if you can. Unless you're not going to be going close to the rating and the other pipe is a better option...Well there are many factors, but thickness isn't everything.

If it's been rated to an American plumbing standard for pressure, it should be good.

thanks for the link.
the next time i make a air cannon i well check all the pieces.

Yes, and it can probably hold more, I doubt the pipe will fail at 251 psi. The pressure rating is not the fail point, it's more along the lines of the maximum safe operating pressure. Does that make sense. I would never recommend exceeding the pressure rating. I'm always a little nervous pushing my pvc chamber over 100 psi. I know it's safe, but that feeling is still there.

Besides that valve is going to fail way before you reach 250 psi. I'm assuming you already knew that.

It's not a bad cannon. The main thing is to remain safe and have fun.

[stevenarroyo]

yes i know
the valve can only go to about 125psi

[nivekatoz]

Thats a cool blow gun. Where did you get it? I like it alot. :salute:

[stevenarroyo]

i made it..... lol

[nivekatoz]

Ok, cool. Tell me how its made if you don't mind.. I really like it.. (LOL)!!! Im finding it hard to believe its homemade..

[stevenarroyo]

well the barrel is 3/4inch PVC 3 foot long
the chamber is 2inch PVC about 1 foot long
and i got a orbit SPRINKLER VALVE and fixed to have the blowgun on it

[blind909]

Not the gun, the valve that actuates the sprinkler valve. He wants to know how you made the homemade blowgun.

[stevenarroyo]

Oooo
i didnt make the blowgun i just moddod a SPRINKLER VALVE

here is a link....

he shows u how i did it.

[nivekatoz]

The blowgun trigger.. for the valve.
Never mind this .It took me so long to think of stuff to write, people responded for me..

[stevenarroyo]

your not man it ok i have a link
