Get rid of all the funky levers and C02.

Edit:I don't even need a launcher.


Generally combustion cannons are a no-no at airsoft events. If you show up to a SPECDET game with one of those, prepare to leave it in the car all day.

How about something like this?

Its regulated and launches a nerf vortex rocket. We use them in paintball as bunker busters or to take out Tanks.

Part of the problem too is you didn't correctly prep the surfaces that you were gluing....


Lies! I slathered the goop on the thing and put it in the hole...


Hey I've laid enough pipe in my day to know that you're supposed to rough it up first...
You gotta hit that stuff the with sand paper and not just the hole, you gotta rough up the pipe you're sticking in there too.

That seems very inefficient. 150-300 feet on 200-300 psi? I can do 300' easily with mine on 80psi all day long. And mine wasn't $380...

That is pretty inefficient, I can stick a golf ball through a fiberglass car hood at 60 feet on 60 psi, 120psi and the thing vanishes into the horizon LOL. Also could have something to do with the projectile itself (weight and o.d. of the projectile in comparison to I.d. of the barrel). I still say use a tennis ball or a racquet ball for a projectile. And if your building out of pvc don't consider firing it off in the winter, cold pvc and high pressure will end in pain and suffering.
When in doubt, empty the mag.
