I practically just removed the pump and put a homemade air tank in there, it has a bike pump valve attatched to it, so I dont have to carry around a pump, It only gets out 1 shot, but can hold for pretty much forever, I got some paint and added some writing and orange tip, the ranges decreased a bit, ranges are the same as a modded nitefinder, any questions, comments, here is the picture.



P.S If you want some more about the tank it is in the homemades under HOMEMADE AIR TANK, BY NERFER909.

1) Take the nickel out you're using for a PVC plug.
2) Gather three more.
3) Go buy a PVC endcap.

Get some PVC cement and a screw fitting for your hose handle while you're at it.

I really like ingenuity and creativity, but you're reinventing the wheel for a common, cheap part. What's more, you're doing it in what could be a dangerous way. Hot glue is not meant to hold pressure, and will eventually fail on you. Air pressure isn't something to be trifled with.

A couple things, Carbon, gather three more what, nickles to make a total of $.20 to buy the PVC endcap, and is that one of those things you put on the end of a hose with a barrel on it and your airtank where the hose goes?

Nickels (from step one). Endcaps cost 20¢.

TYou can't get endcaps at Wal-mart. Go to Garretts, Ace, or Home Depot.

[nerfer909]

Yes I can, Thats where I now get all my cpvc, pvc, endcaps, couplers, elbows, and all my other stuff, it is by the water hoses.

[Flaming Hilt]

Just wondering, how's the accuracy on that? I've always thought of using a hose handle for a valve but a back-handle trigger never really got to me, and the front-end trigger styles tend to be rather expensive. So yea... is there any accuracy decline or aiming trouble because of the trigger on the back of the handle?

[Quilan Fett]

Not for me.

[nerfer909]

Nope, its perfect.

Sad. That is just sad.
Nitefinders cost less, you don't have to pump them, and they are smaller.

My Hose handle gun gets 145' angled.

Sure it does...

You can't assume every hose handle gun is as shitty as nerfer's. God.

My airtank is roughly the same size as a titan's and the hoze valve works almost exactly like a piston valve. These things combined, if I replaced the barrel (Sch 40 1/2'' PVC), I could probabally get even better range.

[NiteWalker]

Look, we don't need a "noob" fight here saying "my gun's better than yours". There is nothing worth fighting over. It's not like someone just invented some new SCAR-N. You guys are arguing over two hose handle gun things. Besides, who cares about ranges? Most of you measure them angled anyway.

[Quilan Fett]

Never mind.
