Hello, and welcome to the Super Soaker Central forums! I'm not sure about the availability of PVC in Australia, but you should definitely be able to get your hands on copper pipe.

Oh, and would you mind running your post through the spell check of a word processor before posting? Thanks. :cool:

If you can get PVC, we have plenty of guides to building homemade water blasters available on our website.

I'm fairly certain PVC is available in Australia. sbell, who's from nearby New Zealand, had no trouble finding PVC, although what he found was slightly different than the PVC of the USA. Australia shouldn't be very different.

Here's the link to sbell's homemade water gun: http://www.geocities.com/waterwarrior49 ... t/article5

If aquaarmourydavid was still around, he might be able to provide some help because he did do a few interesting modifications that involved restructuring the gun. Sadly, he hasn't been seen much in the past few years

Instructions For Use
1. Open the stop valve on your gun, and close the ball valve. Unscrew the cleanout cap on the tank.
2. Fill with water through the 1.5" port on the Tee.
3. Replace the cleanout cap, making sure it's on tight with a wrench.
4. Attach the air compressor and charge the tank to 85 psi.
5. Put the backpack on your back, or otherwise make sure that the tank remains upright throughout firing.
6. Profit.
If you don't have a compressor, you can use a bicycle pump at that step instead. Also, the gun shoots whenever you open the valve so bursts and long shots are easy to do.
