JHQJR-Revamped QEV Gun

[Maniac]

man you guys get really off topic

[psycix]

In almost every thread, you mention HEAL, yeah its a good gun but sometimes it does sound like you cant keep it out of the conversation, like its always a competition of whos got the best.

Hes just TOO proud of it, let him be.
I would be too!

Your guns and cannons can be loved like it are your children :love5:

@Ragnarok, Thanks for catching my GGDT error, it can hit about 1000 fps with a 1 gram projectile, I accidentally said 5 oz. My bad on that one. About the soldering, thanks for the compliments, the reason it looks so good is because I used sandpaper to take off the excess solder.

[Ragnarok]

Ah, sandpaper. I normally just accept stray solder, but that's a way of dealing with it I hadn't considered.

[paaiyan]

That's definitely a nice cannon. I kinda want to build a copper one next, but I'm torn between the high pressures and good looks of copper cannons, and the massive projectiles and awe-inspiring power of larger cannons.

Yours is a good one, I like. Let's have some damage shots neh? I like damage...

[Ragnarok]

I have the large/small dilemma over my next project.
I feel like a little like doing a "simple" high end PVC/ABS combustion, but I also want to do a fancy 6mm auto copper combustion.

I may have to flip a coin over it.

[Maniac]

try some thing new i ve never seen you make a pvc cannon ever or a combustion. yea try the pvc one youll get more power to

[frocksie]

I will get some damage pictures as soon as possible, but I have put a nail through 3/4" plywood from ten yards.

@paaiyan: That is a question I am always dealing with, like whether to build this gun or a 2" piston gun, as my last one broke, due to lack of bumper.

[The Kid]

nice gun. the shape kinda remindes me of sb15s handheld hybrid

[frocksie]

Just took some pictures of damage, sorry to say that the damage isn't all that impressive.

For some reason the pictures are really blurry.

[Novacastrian]

What pressure was used for the damage to the can? If it was the suggested 150 psi i would have expected a bit more damage too
Hope you get it sorted.

[frocksie]

Nova- It was 150psi, but the reason for the poor destruction is that I just glanced it and I shot it from a poor angle. Also, the can was filled with water.

This gun is really deceptively powerful, as there is no kick, and not all that loud. I would love to test this thing with some ballistics gelatin or another similar substance.

[Ragnarok]

Usually water filled cans do much more impressive things than empty ones.
Did you use a nail dart for shooting the can? If so, try something less pointy which will transfer energy into the water better.

The plywood shot is interesting. I would have expected a little more, but I don't have much experience with nail darts, I tend to throw bigger things at the target.

[frocksie]

I'm going to try it out tomorrow with some ball bearings and possibly some dowels.

The plywood shot is interesting. I would have expected a little more.

I think that the plywood shots are pretty impressive. If the nail darts didn't have tape on them, they would go straight through the board.

The nail darts are tremendous ammuntition. I put one of those nails through 3 inches of maple@150psi from 10 yards.

[Ragnarok]

Don't get me wrong, that's still very good.
What I mean to say is that I believe that you could do even better with them. A discarding sabot would produce nice results.
