It's looking great so far, can't wait to see the finished product!  |
1. The shooting tank is a metal storage tank that operates at anywhere from about 70 psi if we're low on air to 110 when we're full on air. It is rated of 220 psi I think. The big black tank is just another metal tank that holds 120 psi and slowly feeds into the shooting tank. Not actually sure where we got either from sorry!
2. 3/4 inch pvc hose. It is rated for up to 120 I'm pretty sure.

Right now the magazine isn't done so we don't really know the firing rate, but it should be fairly fast as after it shoots it just unlocks the shell, ejects the shell, then lets the next shell fall down and finally seals the shell and it is ready to shoot.
Machinery tends to make chips fly into weird places. Lathes and mills are particularly good at this, though drill presses are skilled as well. - Karibou [more]
