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.

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.Just hold the pump in and let the water pressurize it.
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.
