I know, I know, it's been a while since I've posted. But I'd like to let everyone know that I've completed my first WBL (it has design issues, I will be building another) and am soon to complete my APH, as soon as I find the time on Friday to cut the 3" PVC and glue it together.
Since I'm posting from work, I'll have pics on Saturday or so when I can get back on the computer at home.

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

Excuse the bump, but I've just posted WBL pictures.

Have you done any range tests? I'm not sure how effective that WBL is going to be. The Ball valve seems a little small if you ask me. Good job nonetheless.

I haven't tested it with an actual water balloon yet, and I was worried about the valve size too. However, it fires a red potato 100 yards with newspaper as wadding. I'll probably just fill balloons to exact size when I buy some.
