      What kind of PSI do you think that valve can handle? I've run it up to 120psi no problem. But I'd like to go further

    Construct that from all steel components, mount it on a swivel base and I'd say that's pretty close to lethal out to about 75 yds if you headshot the enemy.

    • @HostileHare
      @HostileHare  9 місяців тому +1

      It's lethal currently barrel speed is just under 400 fps. I do want to rifle a barrel for it out of 404 SS, but really no need for steel on the other bits, the sprinkler valve would still be plastic still.
      If I were using combustion as a propellent and not compressed air, totally would use steel or minimum black iron pipe.

      We had a set of frame hooks on the inside of my buddies conversion van that would hold both sides of the water balloon launcher, we would splitting the door open and send 3 to 4 balloons out into crowds of people 🤣

      I will look at them for sure, but the barrel is 1.5 inch class 200(not schedule). And the cyber is 3 inch schedule 40. The sprinkler valve is one inch.

    Why not a big ball valve instead of sprinkler valve?

    • @HostileHare
      @HostileHare  Рік тому +1

      Good question, the sprinkler valve gives me a faster firing trigger mechanism, allows for remote triggering via solenoid, that allows me to mount it on a tripod and stand away, or have it underneath of my truck while I'm driving and firing
