I've completely redesigned my homemade. I don't think my old one would have worked.(what a waste of money, at least I get to keep the leftovers for something else :Hey, that's funny.: )
This new one will be great, but no matter what I do, I can't get the trigger in the back. I am using a garden hose attachment, and having the pump in the back, and the trigger in the front, creating a akward hold. Does anyone know how to get a trigger in the back? I'm not in the mood to fabricate a trigger, and set up the wire system supersoakers use.
This is going to be a medium sized CPS rifel, just so you know. Not a backpack,, so just having a garden hose gun doesn't work. If you guys need the current plans, I can get a drawing on saterday.

You know you could use other things as triggers. ;) The problem with those garden ones is that they can't have output very high. You should be able to get the trigger in the back if you make an extra long barrel. Look at Xray's homemade, he did it.

well you might try to take a trigger thing from one of your other soakers if you Don't use it or something.

the problem ios if you have a long barrel, you lose all that water and pressure.

then make the valve at the end of the barrel. you could use a ball valve, those are good.

oooo, look at me im a gay fuhk!(that's you blaze) Isn't the point of this thread to put it in the back? if it was in the front, I would want something I could just pull, not something I have to turn. This is going to be a fully fuctional grunt soaker, not some complicated snipping machine.

What do you mean, "lose all that water"? You don't lose water by sending it down a tube, quite the opposite! :huh:

And, and Racer said, watch it. You're annoying people. :angry:

Wouldn't it have to be a very small barrel? They don't make anything smaller than 1/2" I guess I could use 1/2" CPVC, but its hard to get converters for something like that. I guess It would work if I put a drilled cap at the end. The thing is, I agree with you guys, but my dad keeps finding flaws with my soaker. Does the CPS PC have to fill up with water? or can it be right after the pump? My dad says it doesn't matter, but I thought it had to be after the reservoir.
