The air canister will boost both pressure and constancy of pressure. But if the PC is empty the air canister won't make it fill with water.

If you're gonna use a compressed air cylinder, there's much simpler designs.

Well, as I may have mentioned, I have smaller eyelets in the basement, so it was only a matter of time before I ended up making a new nozzle to try and get just a pinch more shot time. I don't have stats yet because my brother wouldn't help me.

First of all, here's a picture of the nozzle on the blaster.

And here's a picture of it shooting.

I don't think it got as much range as the other nozzles, but I could be wrong. But the shot time was a bit longer, which is what I wanted.

That's how my WBL exploded, I never rebuilt the barrel, even after buying the parts.

1, Threaded 1/2" X (Err... Hose thread?)
1, 1/2" threaded ball valve.

1, Threaded X Slip 1/2" X 3/4" reducer.
1, Section of 3/4" pipe.

Note: This list does not include any of the tools used to build it.
None of the Catskill Mountain SEALs have any responsibility for any injury any person may sustain while building and/or using this blaster. So any of you scumbags who sue people for stupid reasons like stubbing your toe on a person's property, can't make any money off me! HAHAHAHAHAHA! (No offense to anybody. I just really REALLY hate people who do this.)
