This might seem overwhelming at first, but most of these projects are rather simple and will be done mainly to make guides. I'm looking for similar detail to the APH guide.

Post any other requests for guides here. I'll (or others) will see what we can do to help you guys out!

[Ben]

I'm going to start ordering these in some approximate order I'd like to tackle these in in a few days. This post is a reminder.

One thing to note is that I don't care who does these as long as they get done and some sort of guide is made. The purpose of making these water guns is to increase the number of apparent options to some people. Lately I've come to dislike our monopoly on homemade water guns, so if anyone wants to tackle a project mentioned here, go ahead. Please be aware thought that guides are the most helpful, so please document the building process and materials.

Also, if you have any other ideas or potentially helpful links, feel free to post them.

I may do a CPH of some kind...no promises though. My promises tend to fizzle out.

By the way, we'd also be happy to get images and videos of other water guns, even slight variations of the current set. Once again, it's nice that we have a few water guns of each type on the website, but the category is completely dominated by the Trettels.

The WBL I'm working on is still in progress and I'll do a write-up once its finished or once I've made substaintial progress.

[Ben]

Sounds great. If I don't add a link to your homemades page quickly, feel free to remind me. I'm trying to be as comprehensive as possible on our page to help everyone out.

One thing I'd like to do in the future too is a "Build Log" for some things that I'm making up as I'm going along. This might work well for you too. THR will work like that. Because I didn't go in with a design in mind, things will change a normal guide would be really inconsistent, so a "Build Log" would make most sense with some sort of parts list and rough guide in addition.

[CROC]

I just noticed something, the MD6k where to cut picture is no longer in the modifications section. Should it be there? (Sorry if this is in the wrong topic)

[Ben]

I broke up the pressure relief valves into two types. The Max-D 6000 is a type A valve and I mentioned it in the guide.
