Oh god, I love it! You might want to replace the clear tubing with 50 psi rated (or higher) rubber hose from auto zone or something. I tried the clear stuff and it started ripping near the hose clamps as expansion occurred. It will pop on you. Also what I did on mine was take a hack saw to that propane torch head about a half inch from the end. If you do that it will be completely open and wont take forever to fill your Gauge area. Also super glue the hose to the propane torch head for a good seal along with any other hose connections. You may want to turn your propane tank around so it's not dangling like it is. And stick another hose clamp around it for support. I'm sure it moves on you when you touch it. I'm sure you can find a small fan for inside there. It would also be cool to see a stun gun ignition on it. That gun is not a waste of money. All it needs is a few minor adjustments.

i like the clear tubing, it held up fine, i might sleeve it to make it stronger and keep its cool effect, plus i tested it to 60psi on the propane end and still no bursts, its like i rated it myself. and at night, it is like a neon tube, also in sunlight, the tube becomes fiberoptics and lights up the dark chamber. also there is no ways to remove the hose that goes into the chamber, it is held with some anchors and plastic cement. it takes a very short time to fill the meter, i turn the the propane tank around last night, i need to buy the new clamp, there is no fan, i vent with a vacuum cleaner and there is a fuel mixer inside(my own invention). i cant have a stungun. didnt really test it, shot over my fence and it was just gone. shoots fine. i didnt call it tawmcat because it sucks, it kicks ass, its because in most of my friends view, i have a great hobby that wastes my money. edit: i sleeved the hose, should hold 100psi, and added a mono pod, and also a few more clamps booya! painted  |

You should find a way to mount the vacuum onto that valve. And whats your mixture control invention like?

i dont if i want the vacuum on board, maybe a hose.
and the mixer slides up and down the chamber, on the mixer is "fan blade" made from soda cans. works fine, but sometimes gets stuck.

You manually mix it? Also you just might want to put a fan it because you wouldn't need to use the vacuum anymore. By positioning the fan so it blows out toward the emptying valve, it will pull all bad air out of the gun through that valve. They are available in very small sizes. Actually I just came across one that fits that size pipe at my friends house. He was happy to give it to me. Many old computers used smaller fans. Look in some junk piles or check with friends who decided to throw computers in their attic. For a gun as beautiful and compact as that it would be a shame to have efficiency problems and the need to carry a vacuum. You could do so much with that gun. Just think of the possible paintball games.

haha i love the paint, it's nice how you didn't put any past a certian point up the barrel, it will make it so that none gets rubbed when you shove a potato in

it loads from the back. neatly done, a rubber coupling makes a seal well but i have to clamp it every time, or a blowby will happen. all i have to do is unclamp, twist 45 degrees, and pull, load, push, twist 45 degrees, and clamp. better than turning it 10 times with threads
