well, on the projectile thing, i was assuming we were in a general trnd of going towards the nerf rockets... but if youve got an idea, im all ears! and marking techniques... i havent gotten there yet.. but again... if youve got an idea... hmm, was thinking... pvc s nice and light and all, but as tj mentioned, its not altogether too strong... but also heard that aluminum wasnt too easy to work with, like it gumms up on a blade when its cut, cuz its so soft (as a metal). would it be THAT hard to make a reciever out of aluminum? (in reference to a similar design to tj's new cannon). also, the reservoir input to the pressure chamber.. does it HAVE to go in the end of it? would it risk the integrity if i put it in the side of the reservoir? i like the camo tape idea.. lil tacky lookin close up, but better than a cheap paint job.. a long while back i asked a lil about a pressure sensor/switch that would disable the trigger til it was fully charged... i found one new for 40 bucks.. is that a decent price? or can i find one cheaper? sounds like its over qualified cuz it goes up to 4000 psi. do they make permanent gauges for this stuff? cuz i know i can get a lil tire pressure thingie and it would do the trick, but it wont mount. i was looking for a dial taht would just stick out from the pressure chamber on the side, in view, ya know? guess this falls under the side loaded air question too.. hmmm and the regulators... would i get a wholesale discount if i wanted like 6 or 8? lol just thinkin for now.. but when i finally go and do this... ill want at least 6 i think.. dale, thanks for the sim, but its not working, says its corrupted or something, ill try to download it from the site, but hadnt thought seriously of looking into it till now, but ya changed my mind! thanks, and i will use it! also, air sources, what are you guys using? seen the fire extingusher, thats cool! what else though? thought about getting a rental co2 thingie, you know, the huge ones? like 3ft tall or whatever.. anyway, yeah, the extingushers would prolly work almost better than that.. but yeah, lookin for to see what EVERYONES using.. guys that have been using nerfs... how many times on avg can you reuse them, taking into account some you cant find, some stolen, some broken, etc... and how many do you carry to a game? how many do you shoot? thats all i can think of now... lemme know if i missed something, :-P and thanks for your time guys, prolly be up with some more q's tomorrow.. -Peter P.S. man, almost forgot! TJ, doin well, army is a LOT better than it was, haha! my 1sg is the coolest! man! great guy! job is cool, get to play around in apache cockpits alot! its fun! LOT of paperwork though, but it comes with working with stuff of that caliber, haha! bike is doing well, already took all the fun out of going on the autobahn :-D so i think i might sell it to my bro instead of taking it to germany with me this june. when i get back after 2 years, i might end up getting an r1 or a gixxer 1000 (i figure if im gonna pay the 2k to get the 750, might as well go all the way, but the 'busa's just too much :-P) speedo cable broke this week, so i dont know how fast im going... especially troublesome on post, with all these jerk mp's lol, but im also getting a few free miles on the odometer, so its a trade off. (not too many though, cuz i also use the trip odo as a sort of gas gauge, and since its down, dont want to take it too far where i cant fill up....) anyway, take it easy, sorry bout the cannon, and hope the next setup works for ya!
