APH Without Reservoir

Post by Scooter » Thu Aug 20, 2009 10:07 pm

Approximately how long (in minutes or seconds) will a basic APH spray if there is water in the APH (i.e., filled with a water hose or something) but no reservoir connected? Assume a 1/4 or 3/8 inch diameter nozzle.

Thanks for your help. I plan to build one (or two) APH guns this weekend.

probably 10 seconds, maybe more if you try tap shooting. my 1/4" nozzle gets about 6 seconds, but i never fill it all the way, too many pumps
My "arsenal": Customizable APH, Storm 600 pistol (still haven't finished fixing this), launcher- Model:AB1.0(Decommissioned), AB1.5, soon AB 1.1(2"rebuild) maybe ill get something else in the future

Depends entirely on the size of the pressure chamber(s). With those nozzle sizes, however, I'd expect not very long, under ten seconds.
