Than go ahead and tell manufactures of products like ceiling fans that we should stop using their products, because maybe the blade MIGHT come off and hurt somebody. There's a difference between not happening at all (your example) and happening in a manner with a fairly predictable outcome...

I don't know what TAG is, it must not be the same person. Only forums I've been on and not with this user name is LPF and Water Rocket Forum. Link to whatever your talking about maybe?


Yup. I decided it would be better to make sure everyone knew I wasn't a troll and just probably came to the wrong forum.

Nope...not a social experiment of any kind. I guess this wasn't the best forum to ask questions about home made builds. I guess the reason it doesn't seem like the plastic pipe exploding is that dangerous, is because I've had it explode before. And all it did was a loud bang and a little scrape...


Guys none of this was a joke or something I was actually just had a few questions, and thank you I think some members have answered them politely. What's a tag forum, I guess I don't know.

Would you tell that to the people who made the Girandoni air rifle? The pressure vessel was made of cast iron pressurized to 800 psi with 1500 strokes of a bicycle style pump mechanism? Was that not of the same danger. Someone on the forum showed me a chart of pvc pipe pressure rating. The...

But why do people think I'm a troll. Tell a guy who loves motorcycles that they're dangerous and he should stop. Then see what he says. He's probably not going to feel compelled to stop after two days of being told that. And if you told him he was trolling you for not stopping, and instead...


I am not a troll. A troll wants trouble. I came here and asked questions about my gun. I provided pictures of my gun. I have been respectful. Trolls try to cause trouble. Please stop the accusing. Sure aren't friendly. You can't expect someone who's been building and playing with PVC airguns to...

Thanks everyone. I came here for help. Bye.


I suppose I didn't design the gun to last. It's not designed to store pressure for long, as it's single shot. For that reason I didn't think I needed to consider plastic fatigue. I usually just wear gloves, a jack and a paintball mask and hope for the best. I just took pipe that I saw other...

Okay thank you all for your advice. And I don't do this around other people.

Oh gosh I came to this forum asking for help and all I get is people who tell me to stop playing with this. Than tell all the kids who play with model rockets, water rockets, spud guns, dry ice bombs, etc to stop playing with them. How is this "danger beyond my wildest...

Ya know, that's really true I never even thought of that.

I think my dad let's me continue to use my airgun and not let me buy a pellet gun because he feels that I already have the home made airgun, and it's something I made, and if he buys or let's me buy something than he's allowing more. He seems to be uncomfortable about the gun I made already.

Oh no I'm not comparing my gun to Quackenbush's guns, mine is more of an experiment, his is a finished, high quality rifle. By the way thanks for answering the question. Can you explain why my gun has more kick than a .22 LR though? I've been to the range many times and know what the feeling...

Have you heard of Quackenbush airguns? They are home made. At least made in a guys machine shop. And I'm pretty sure he is no areospace enginner. He just probably has had experience building them, and with mechanical engineering fundamentals. Of course his rifles use hydraulic tubing, not...


Well I guess the goal of this was to use parts I could find at a hardware store to make a gun. Have you seen the hundreds of kids and adults who make airguns similar to mine on Youtube. They're all amazing! Try watching this video.

Yeaaaaahhhh..............I'll be saving if I try to buy something $130+ Definitely can't afford 575 but who knows, I'll ask my dad. Sometimes grandparents and parents go in together for stuff ;)

Do you think a Daisy 880 or a Crosman 2100 would satisfy my urge to shoot airguns?


Thanks so much. Yes I do understand the risks. One of these things exploding could cause permanent eye injury or blindness plus shrapnel wounds and/or lacerations. And as someone here said air entering the bloodstream, and property damage. Well you may think that water rockets use water, but...
