    OK, I think it's time to bring back this thread. 2 reasons.
    A. It's pretty cool.
    B. I gots me a question- How are ou guys joining the pieces of the metal pipe together? Are you getting it threaded at Home Depot, or at you welding it, or what? Thanks

      Holy Thread Ressurection!!!

      Threaded... Red loctite... lots of it.


      About the ball valve. Its not inefficent if you take huge door closing springs attach it to the arm lock it in place and let her fly when you pull the release cable while standing behind a huge oak tree.

      Be careful. I wouldent pressurize those pipes past 600. I still have the thing It is no longer funtional as I have bastardized the fittings off of it to use on paintball guns.
      Did you hear about the new european weapons contracts? France is going to make the wooden sticks Spain making the little white flags

        I used quite a bit of 545 Loctite (Hydraulic/Pneumatic Sealant).

        All the pipes are pre-threaded.

        And my ball valve leaks around 500 - 550 PSI.

        My advice is use a bigger dump chamber, lower PSI, and a solenoid. I'm just too lazy to rebuild.
