Do most metal water bottles have a common thread size for the cap (for use as an air chamber)? If so, what is it?
I'm looking to make something similar to this:

If you look, I beleive that tank was JB-welded on.
Try the threads used on garden hoses. At the paintball place i was at last, I could thread it onto the hose spigot....... Sending me on a great way to get the dents out of the dang things.

Most likely it is a proprietary thread.
I used a old fire extinguisher bottle and it needed to be J-B Welded on.

I've never messed with QEV's or homemade piston valves (I've made a modded sprinkler), but could I basically make the above cannon with a QEV replacing his homemade valve? Seems like it should work, but I want to know if I'm right before buying a QEV online.
Thanks
