If you don't know how to make something, it's not for you. Do some damn research.

We wouldn't get annoyed if it was a mistake anyone could make, but you posted it in the 'How-To Database (NOT FOR HELP-ME POSTS!)'
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

And some 'jerks' like you make the moderating staff's lives hell. I hate NoName as much as the next guy- probably more- but at least in this case he was in the right.

Cheers, and Happy Kwanzaa.

i dont think that gun is safe with aerosol let alone propane it looks like u have glued abs to pvc (the black fittings are abs) i would throw the gun away it may or may not be safe to fire but propane would make it even more dangerous to fire

If he used transition cement, he should be fine with a combustion. A few screws through the transition joints wouldn't hurt though.
