This is a quick, side project to my (undisclosed) main project. It utilises the extremely powerful sprinkler valve, mine was a irritrol 1" one. I expoxied in a blowgun, and was staggered by the performance. It works much better without the spring, and is noticably louder.



Features an ACOG sight, from an old bb gun (Cybergun Famas)

Breach loading

Rifled Barrel (OMG!)

.75" Barrel , 2" Chamber

and a handle over the blowgun (1.5" DWV)

Everything is 8 Bar pressure rated.


PICS!

What's it like to aim with the handle off the centre of gravity?
I'm guesing you rifled the barrel yourself? Pretty sweet but what do you shoot from it which takes advantage of it, is it a noticeable difference?

Also... damage pics!

Edit: where did you get the sprinkler valve from? was it a reasonable price?

C&P'd from spudfiles:

I shoot potatoes, and they work very well. The accuracy is improved greatly, especally over long distances. I got the sprinkler valve off amazon.
