Hi, interested in buying powerful homemades. I live in the uk so shipping has to be accounted for. Thanks!

I might be able to build you something. I can't really make an APH because I would need a pump, but I could easily make an SCH (hose-charged water gun).

With an SCH can i use that when not near a hose? What range can you get? How much would you like for it? Thanks so much :) !

Building up a hose-charged weapon is not difficult :D Easy thing for me too...

But I can also build you a real watergun, with a backpack, trigger, PC(bladder)-CPS, pump and all the things needed.

How much would you be willing to pay for a good working homemade with range of 35 feet and a PC of 1 litre and a output of 300m/s ?

aaa, by the way SCH s are guns you charge at a hose(instead of pumping) and then you go around and soak till the gun is out of water. Go back and fill up again. No pump needed, only one check-valve.

You can't use it without a hose. Range is around 40 feet. I could probably sell one for about $30; maybe more. But I'm not sure if I can do this. I've never sold something online.

Well is that something i fill at a hose and then use elsewhere? Also what sort of backpac thing can you make? The stats your giving sound good but the more ambitious the gun the better :) Im happy to pay more than $30!

I could make a small version of Rolland Tower's Ultimate Water Gun. Or I could make a backpack version of my SCH, or I might be able to build a homemade APH packpack that you could attatch to homemades. By the way, are hoses and schrader valves in the UK the same as in America?

By the way, I'm also good at water gun modifications.

Stuff in the UK is most likely metric. And they probably are more likely to have presta valves than schrader valves.

Most bikes use schrader valves, so they're not at all hard to find.

Well if a homemade is cheaper i'd rather have one of those to a moded gun! Can you make me a packback gun thats good enough to take out a group of people with water guns? I'd need a good range and fire time to compensate for the cumbersome gun!
