My APH/CPH

[Killi101]

true. i think 35ft is not bad...

[Fredcompany]

zeda, I did get a range of about 35ft. I don't see how the rubber tubing is meant to prevent backflow. Could you elaborate?

Killi101, I wouldn't mind a range of 35ft if it had more shot time. It has a shot time of about a second, because the bike tubing doesn't expand much and so doesn't hold much water.

[Killi101]

yep, shot time is everything for my needs.but what pc capacity would you think you got?

[zeda.beta]

The tubing has a sort of one way valve in it, and the gas cannot flow backwards through the tube. This is to prevent large explosions, which could be slightly hazardous to your health. I'm not at all sure if it will store pressure, but it might.

I am using a silicon tube as PC, it expands about 5x, provides nice pressure, stable, and it grew in lengh and high. In fact it just does the same as the original tube. If you want I can make some pictures of this. Power is the same but not more, 40-50 feets maximum, may that is the only think it is lacking. On the other hand the tube is cheap, I have got 10 metres of this tube at home just for bulding CPHs

[Killi101]

50ft is great, but i heard that the silicone loses its elasticity. maybe it was some other but i heard somthing like that

I am using my CPH more than half a year now and it has not lost any range or output. It is a question of how far you go. A steel spring will last for many years if never overstretched and that is the same with rubber. Do not stretch the silicon tube too much and it will last for years...not forever but a long time . And when it breaks down, ok, just replace it by a new tube...cheap and effectiv

[Killi101]

ok, i wasnt sure which one but if you say so, ill take your word for it.

Fredcompany, how much did the tubing barb cost, and where did you buy yours from? i need to know to make a price list for my next gun. thanks

[Fredcompany]

I didn't use a tubing barb - I used a 15mm female to female connector. I sanded down the thread a bit on one end (it looked sharp, but I still wanted it to grip the bike tubing).

To find a tubing barb, look on online DIY/plumbing sites like Toolstation

I used a female to female

hm...What are you going to do with so much females ? xD I thought you have got a girlfriend

By the way, I apologize, it does not belong to the topic here.... just want to be funny

[Fredcompany]

It was funny until you apologized for being funny!

[-G-JiV-]

Ok, than I apologize for apologizing that I was funny...

It is great to be here...
