Everything on my RPG is on my back except the trigger and Barrel. Those aluminum resevior tanks make a HUGE weight improvement. Puts out 220 fps on a Nerf Rocket. I cheated and took a chance to use Vinyl 3/4" ID attached with Barbs and hose clamps to discharge the valve through to the barrel. It is rated only for 35 psi constant but I'm not doing constant. Just venting to atmosphere behind a Nerf Rocket. The 5 way toggle valve work great as a trigger. Pull it backwards and it triggers the diaphragm and fires the RPG. It doesn't recharge the resevior until I toggle the trigger back into the forward, ready to fire position. I don't have to run around with a charged resevior on my back unless I have something to shoot at... And I just had to do it. Built a 12 shots-out-of-a-single barrel prototype. I had a 5 shot one working but didn't have the valve to shoot more than that. Now I just have to see what that Rainbird can do pushing 12 balls out of a 36 inch barrel. If it does good, we will see if it can push two barrels that shoot 12 balls each, then three and in my wildest dreams, 4 barrels and a total of 48 balls. That should paint the whole side of a tank kill plate at 30 yards. Fantasys are so much fun to act out.....

Follow Ups: Well, it shredded 12 balls. Plenty of Omuph!
