Step 3: Fillin' Station

Attach the quick connect to the gas valve. use teflon tape or pipe dope to get a good seal. thread that into one of the reducers and that into the strait end of the Y. thread the preasure gauge into the other reducer and put that into the other branch ot the Y. using one of your 2" pieces attach the Y to one of the 2" to 4" reducers.

Step 4: The Business End

Glue the 2" pipe in one end of the water valve and glue the remaining 2" piece on the other end. on that piece glue the 2" to 4" reducer and then the 4" pipe

Step 5: IT LIVES!!!!!

there's really no way to aim so you just gotta point and shoot. MAKE SURE to not shoot it at anyone or any thing that is alive. it will drive a golf ball through a 1/2" of sheet rock. a wash rag is needed to keep a seal around the golfball.

Step 1: Getting Started

A few things you should know before starting out... PVC: Always used pressure rated PVC. Never used DWV, which is unpressure rated PVC and can explode at such pressures. DWV may be cheaper or easier to find but it is not worth it.

Step 6: Barrel Support and Breech Loading

Barrel Support: The barrel support works by boring out some of the PVC inside two 50mm PVC tee's. This allows the tee's to slide over 50mm PVC pipe. Grab one tee and stick it in a vice so the horizontal ports are facing up. Find a hole saw that fits snugly inside the ports on tee.
