: In that case I think I would just buy some copper water pipe and sweat some fittings on. Then you can make it any size you like, or even bend it to fit the area you have to work with. 1" soft copper is rated at 500 psi and 1 1/2" can handle 400. When copper blows, it splits instead of fragments like PVC would.j

That's an awful lot of bending large tubing into small radiuses. I really don't see how the cut/weld approach would be any more difficult.

: BTW, what did you think of my new gun design?

Haven't put it through any rigorous analysis, but certainly it appears to be a sound concept.
