Cap Missing
Hey there guys. I hope I posted this topic in the right sub forum.
I have a water gun (which I won from this Ice Cream Contest).
My main problem is, my cap is missing and I don't know what I can use to make a new one. Could you guys help me out? I'll provide you with pictures tomorrow if it helps
Thanks again

Re: Cap Missing
I also missed my 2700 cap, replacing this with a cork cap from a wine bottle. I cut it so it would fit on the chamber hole and carved a little hole from top to the bottom of the cap, in order to release pump pressure, if not, chamber is deformed.

Re: Cap Missing
Does the gun work without the cap? If so, then you can use basically anything. It will need to have an air vent though, a pinhole should suffice.
If the gun won't work at all without the cap, then it's a pressurised reservoir type, and for that you'll need to make an airtight seal, which could be tricky. A rubber bung might work though.

Re: Cap Missing
ark333: Hmm I can try that
cantab : I have no idea, I have not tried the gun after the cap went missing. But I will try it tomorrow, and update you

Re: Cap Missing
Okay it looks like a pressurised reservoir type. I could not shoot. Also as I was pumping, I notice bubbles. So I guess I need a rubber bung. Will resize the pictures and post it up

Re: Cap Missing
Actually...a bung might not be a good idea, since if the pressure is high enough, it'll fire off, likely with some force.

Re: Cap Missing
Oh boy. Okay. I cannot remember if I've tried a coke bottle cover. I can try again. Anything else I should try? By the way, the gun is pretty small haha

Re: Cap Missing
Do you know what gun it actually is?
I can think of no guns that a drinks bottle cap will fit sadly.

Re: Cap Missing
It's probably not that worth bothering with. Simpler and likely cheaper to replace it.
As for straps, the simplest solution would be to take a strap from a bag. You may even be able to get such a strap on its own, try a bag shop or a department store. I've also heard of dog leads working.
Normally the strap will have clips; however, sometimes the clips are on the bag. In which case, anything is fine, like string.
A carabiner would be overkill for attaching the strap to the blaster. It might, however, be useful for directly attaching a smaller blaster to a belt loop.

Re: Cap Missing
I believe that he removed the trigger, which I think is a pinch type. You can kind of see the tubing pinched near the trigger area. (I don't see any other way for there to be a trigger, unless there's something out of the picture)

Re: Cap Missing
Specter : There is a trigger. Its a spring and trigger, so putting it back in position is a bit tough as I have to "compress" it in a sense to put the trigger back. But if its a piston type, without the cap, when pumped the water won't squirt out.
aEx155 : Yeah i did. The trigger was there. hehe
and um,, hehe I'm a girl.. lol xD
