I found a website where they were selling Q.E.V.'s for $30 a peice, but you had to buy 10 minimum. Anyone know where to get them for a good price?

Q.E.V. vs. sprinkler valve mod

Does anyone know the performance comparison between a 1'' moded sprinkler valve and a 3/4'' Q.E.V. ?
I can get a 1'' sprinkler valve, blowgun, and everything to attatch them for $20. The cheapest Q.E.V I could find were $50. Just trying to figure out if it's worth it.

Keep reading. everything you say is an assumption, not fact. those guys obviously aren't as dumb as you were hoping. is there really such thing as a 100% safe potato gun? HELL no. we all build and use them with the understanding that they can be dangerous.

oh...and I think we all know that a schedule 40 fitting has RAISED TEXT that shows the pressure rating. I said "printed" but i figured you'd know what I meant.

My friend and I have been playing around in the garage for a few weeks now, coming up with ideas for guns and such. He watches spudfiles like a hawk for ideas and told me about this thread. It pissed me off because of how helpful they guys at cajuncannons have been. I emailed them last night about t...

There are no DWV fittings on it. The ends of the fittings have sch. 40 printed on them. Yes, there is a union on one side and it is a ball valve. The union allows the user to slightly loosen the ball, allowing it to move faster and easier. This lets a little air leak out, but not enough to make a di...

I purchased a twister from that website a couple of months ago. It is an awesome gun and shoots close to how far they claim. Id say the potato went about 250 yards at 80 psi. The only bad thing was the paint scratched easy when dropped or knocked around.
