Improved Throwline Cannons (Better than APTA)
Lol, the only thing raining on my parade is the actual rain. I took some video footage today but I need to do the edit and upload part still. I'm not a video guy, but I'm trying. I also have contacted JJ sporting in the past, that's where I first saw the idea to drill out the neck of a... -

Hey y'all sorry playing catch-up after all the rain. I'll get a video up this next weekend. Burrapeg, there are several options you can pm me and I'll give you the details on all the best valves. -

The weekend got rained out, lol. Here's a photo of my 1-1/2" valve version. In the photo, I was messing with some stuff and took off the trigger mount, but this is basically what it looks like. I get 90ft on 60psi or 12 pumps of a bicycle floor pump. I also have a version with a 1" valve which... -

Just to clarify, I am not doing any welding on the aluminum pipe. It is Schedule 40 rated pipe with threads. I think this is also the case for the APTA, which makes it easy for anyone with basic plumbing knowledge to repair, modify, rebuild, etc. It is a good way to go. Imo, pipe weldng is great... -

Hi folks, I'm excited there seems to be a lot of interest. I plan on making a video next weekend. Not to drag out the suspense, I'm just busy until then! An HDPE pressure chamber is a good idea, but it would probably have to be custom made. I've not come across HDPE pipe and fittings or a small... -

I think for the prototypes $350. If I were to make a bunch at once, the cost could go down to under $300, but I don't currently have plans to do that. -

Yikes! Ok, looks like there is sufficient interest in this design, I will get parts together to make a few more of these and get y'all some photos/video. At this point I have no intentions of making more than a handful of these and compensating myself for r&d plus parts/assembly. It'd be great... -

A butterfly valve or a ball valve are both operated by turning the handle lever 90 degrees. This is a large range of motion and requires the operator to flip the lever as quickly as possible in order to get off a good shot. Diaphragm and piston valves (used everywhere from operating your lawn... -

Hi y'all, this is a post to gauge interest in a prototype I've been building. It is a pneumatic cannon for launching shotbags. I have a couple made and the performance is outstanding. If anyone is interested in it I could sell you one. Details: It is made from aluminum pipe for the chamber and...
