Very cool! Were the threads on the CO2 tank 1/2" or were they some odd type of threads? Also, how did you modify the valve on the CO2 tank?
It's hard to soar with eagles when you're working with turkeys.
Man i love this cannon...and my sweet ace discount lol. I made some wood slugs to shoot out of it tommorow. They have 13/16 gaskets on them and they seal like a champ. we will drill a hole for a nail and start tree hunting lol.
Nail didn't work out too well so we filled them with lead lol. Check it out>>> http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... 6fd#190182

I see a sprinkler valve, blowgun valve, and a shrader valve. LOLbrplatz wrote:it was a 3/8 flare fitting that went into it. it fit perfectly.
there is no valve besides the modded sprinkler

Not bad! You probably could have piped the tank to hug the sprinkler a little more...not have the long gangly iron connection. However, a good effort overall! ....and good usage of the CO2 tank.
i said the exact same thing about the pipe!
i wanted a shorter one for it to be more sleek/portable or whatever
but sddds13 had the final decision since he worked there
whatev! its still pretty awesome.
i want to upgrade to a 3/4 QEV and crank up the pressure on this baby!

1. For this purpose, nitroglycerine, though liquid, would qualify.
2. For this purpose, ordinary flour, though solid, would not qualify.
2. Explosive device: Any device that has the capability to release large amounts of stored energy rapidly.
1. Discussion of fireworks as projectiles is prohibited.
2. Discussion of "soda bottle bombs" or any other similar devices that may cause shrapnel as a result of uncontrolled rupture is prohibited.

Better watch it, or the moderators will be bringing some ass-whipping to your loophole
