Do you think 154ml chamber at 6x would burst a 1" soda can disk?
Score the disk with a stick or rock or what ever else that wont cut it.

ok! 10x with 45ml chamber and about 1cm burks disk with disk made from soda-can side works lovely! Oh and it looks like this:

Has 17 zip ties :D But those are just to hold electronics and the grips, tested this gun up to 10x with no problems

Sorry for double post, but i couldnt get the hybrid to ignite :cry: Didn't work with butane, then tried with propane ( that regulator has a mark every 5psi, it was pretty hard...) got one ignition but the camera was not on... I need more accurate gauge...

It could be that once the pressure equalises, the gas is flowing back past the regulator.

Have you tried with the shock pump instead of compressor?

How do you fuel it ? with a syringe ? or a typical volumetric meter ?

If it's the latter then switch to syringe fueling to determine that the regulator is the real cause of problems here


ohh and here is another damn technology you scary video >>

Wait...how is that hypocritical? If they were calling for a reduction in violent media then I would understand but there's nothing hypocritical about playing violent roles whilst supporting gun regulation. Same thing could be said of actors who have portrayed characters using drugs on screen but voice their opinion against drugs in general.

Or am I missing something?

Well it is ironic I think. If there glamorization of shooting a gun doesn't effect any one, then there sad expression doesn't contribute to anything.
