<div align="center">HELL RAISER

Provided By - EvilEyeMonkey

Its called the hell raiser and it is a double chamber gun.

THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING. IT WENT SO FAR I LOST TRACK OF IT. FOR SURE IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL GUN I'VE BUILT. DAMN IT RULES. I ONLY GOT TO CHARGE IT TO 40PSI THOUGH. BECAUSE OF WHERE I LIVE.

I have a two 1" Watermaster valves hooked to 1 blowgun. (hoping to use a ball valve instead of a blowgun)

All bronze fittings are 1/4" fittings
My barrel is 1 1/4" (I meant to use 1.5" though)
4" Double Chamber

that thing is a BEAST. IF that had supahs instead of sprinkler, (not saying you should do that, becuase of price) that thing would be a megaluancher, but great job, nice clean construction

Awesome. Just one question. If you are using 2 1 inch valves then you have a total airflow of 2 inches. As far as I can tell everything on the barrel side of the valves is only 1 inch though. Arent you constricting your possible airflow?

i have been waiting to build a pneumatic cannon until i got all my ideas right and your design is what i want to use. do the tanks deplete completely after each shot? i dont have much experience with sprinkler valves so i was just wondering.

not COMPLEATLY, when i fire my paintball sniper i can get one friggen powerful shot off then i can get the funny little like fart shot of without pumping again, i guess it kind of depends on your chamber size and amount of psi
i got connections with the modfia, watch who ur talkin to noob.

yeah, i get the same thing with my st. patricks day parade cannon
also big_sauce i'd use NSF-PW reducers instead of the DWV ones he used on his chamber, you're not likely to find them in your area, so go to http://www.plumbingsupply.com http://www.mcmaster.com http://www.usplastics.com http://www.savko.com to find the parts you need

That fart shot can be dangerous. I was using AXE spray and I got this "fart shot" and the inside of my chamber cought on fire because of the liquified spray. Damn the fire it was so funny :lol:

This gun is awesome! I love the multi-chamber designs, and I plan on making my next gun similar to this one... maybe bigger though. :)

Hey thanks man. And this is for the builder. Have you seen the AutoSpud, you should definatly hook your gun up with a stand similar to his. thats just what this gun needs. Oh and i forgot to comment about your set-up of the two valves hooked up to the blowgun. Very nice, very clean
