Beautiful looking gun Spike. I love how clean this gun looks. I've seen the video of your piston valve before, but I don't understand french :( .

Anyway, job well done and welcome to Spudfiles :D

Nicely done! I hope that thing is being used at high pressure! Welcome to Spudfiles!

The only thing that worries me is the parts he uses. I doubt I'll be able to get that tee with a male porting on the side. Eh... I'm working on a linear valve at the moment anyway.

What pressures do you run this gun at spike?

wow, you did an amazing job. i would love to see more of your creations.

is the copper barrel new? Because I don't see any oil stains or corrosion on it at all.

10/10 - clean, shiny, and beastly as hell :wink:

that is quite the nice launcher........

what exactly is your air chamber though??

and BTW i found that same fitting you used for your piston valve at my hardware store, a how-to on this piston valve would be amazing...

Love it. Nice. and clean. Would be awesome if you could color the tank copper color.

Dont know if you saw it, but there was a thread recently regarding your valve, its in the pneumatic canon discussion, near the bottom of the page.

BTW, your english isnt bad at all, better then some americans :wink:

b-e-a-utiful :D :D I love it, you need some more damage pics, what pressures do you use it at?

soon I will try to put a bottle which holds the high pressure, because I have build a high pressure pump , full metal which goes up has 430 psi (30 bars)
there are a problem with the blowgun which go only to 150 psi!

here it is, it is very out of copper, with brass connections.
it is a system of piston O ring, and the system not return functions with a ball and a spring.
