Welcome to SSC. Did you check the site? Didn't think so. Try this mod and nozzle drilling.

Read how to here. Nozzle drilling basically is what it says, using a drill to get larger nozzles.

The nozzle on the 800 is perfect for sniping, an also do you know any way to hook a garden hose to your pvc gun, I have an idea for a sweet base defense weapon.

You can purchase an 'Unlimitor' and this will have the same affects. It is only about $10. Just do a search on google for it.

I was talkin about Dooms PVC gunwith the garden hose thing, but if you could adapt an Ulimiter to Dooms Backpack mod it would rule beacause the 800 has a small tank

Uhh, the backpack mod isn't pressurized, and a mod to that exent on such a small gun isn't worth it. It would be better to make a homemade like that.

You could make a way to make the 2 liter homemade have a hose attached to it, but that really defeats the purpose.

I'm slowly building my homemade that is based of Doom's... Sorta.
I'm half done with the backpack, so I just use a garden hose.
I can do this because I decided to have 3/4" hose to the backpack instead of 1/2" because you can get those screws that can turn with out turning the entire thing. It's ment for a garden hose to PVC so its only for 3/4" Works perfect. I screw on a hose pistol attachment, and that onto the hose. Just hold the pump in and let the water pressurize it. Turn off the hose attachment and you have a fully pressurized gun. No pumping required.
Personaly I would rather pump, and stay fully mobile. Besides, a pistol hose attachment wors a lot easier and almost as good as the homemade, since it is at the same pressure. Lose the idea, its a novelty.

Just hold the pump in and let the water pressurize it.
I've tried that, the problem with it is that (at least for me) the hose doesn't pressurize it as much as you can with your hand. I'd recommend pumping some after you try that, at least to put some more air in the chamber.

We're going off-topic here, stay on the topic of Storm mods.

I wouldn't know yet, as my back-pack is only half done. I do know that with the hose, I have way more outpoot, and a bit more range than my CPS 1500. Hope I can get more.

P.S. Standard hose pressure = 60 P.S.I.

You can still pump it to put more air in the chamber. That'll increase the pressure without adding water. ;)
