Ultimite Water Gun parts list
Gonna have 'RolandTowers' as my first build ever. Hopefully if all goes well, gonna spray the kids at the cabin this summer So my only simple questions are a) Will these parts be easily found at a fairly large hardware store (Revy/Rona in Canada) and b) any last tips before the build or tips for proformance upgrades?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The parts should be available, except sometimes people have trouble finding Schrader valves (he mentions where to buy one in his article).
One suggestion. Make the handle out of PVC unless you are planning to turn it into a flamethrower (...that's what he was doing...), which I would NOT recommend. Disaster waiting to happen.

Thanks for that. I'm sure a schrader valve should be avalable in SOME hardware/auto/bike store.
Secondly. Would pvc be cheaper? I most likely won't be flame throwing with it but gas is a solvent anyway.

Welcome to Super Soaker Central Nsomnia!
If you have a larger air compressor, you could use special air tool attachments as opposed to schrader valve. They are more common in my experience and get a much better connection from an air compressor. I'll get some better images of the attachment on some of my more recent water guns, but you can view the attachment with a few couplers here. Remember that a check valve would be necessary if you use the air tool connection as well.
You shouldn't have any trouble finding these parts at larger home improvement or hardware stores. However, some people have told us that finding PVC can be hard in some areas of Canada, so look around if you can't find anything at the first store you check.
Good luck with your homemade water gun too.
