After the war tomorrow once I get my PETG, I'm re-doing my AT3K with 6" PETG barrels. The brass will do for tomorrow though.

No, but I have a big [BLEEP] gun. That's good enough for me!

Probably because polyethylene terephthalate glycol doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

That's quite a complex molecule. PETG... Polyethylene terephthalate glycol. Polyethylene is uh, a polymer, some form of plastic; terephthalate, doesn't that mean 30 or something; and then glycol, isn't that like, sugar?? So that'd mean the molecular structue is 30 atoms linked by a solid bond, or something. All I know is that it's damn complex and I'm not a freaking molecular physicsist. I'm a quantum physicsist...That's it's trade name.

That was odd.

A fine question.Does the gun take more pumps to pressurize now that the liquid gauge has been drained?
Spoon did basically the same mod (first, I might add) but without draining the goo and with brass instead of PETG. At YANO we found that we both got about the same range at 5 pumps and neither of us could comfortably pump it beyond that.
A partial answer I know, but it's all I've got.

I'll save you the drama though. After the first war of the day, it was decided that having both at3ks on the same team was a poor idea. The other team really didn't stand a chance.
Until I measure it, I'd guess it's about 80' flat. Interestingly, I think the distance is limited by the pump not by the air tank size. The awkward handle and large pump tube diameter keep you from getting the tank pressure quite to where you want it.
The barrel rotation is mechanical, actuated by the pump handle. The design is conceptually similar to the SM3k but has been completely re-engineered and works much better.

Other than that, it's less than half the cost, much easier to cut and work with, adheres to epoxy better than brass tubing, and is available in 4' length.
On the down side, you can't do telescoping barrels with it and it's only available in one size that's useful to us.

I was wondering if I could do that. If only I could disconnect it from the rotator, pump it up a LOT (uses extended airtank and my AT/CPS mod), then disconnect the pump tube and reconnect it to the rotator, and I'd get a pump shotty. IM me if you want to see the plans for the AT/CPS. It's a partially interactive flash, but I have no where to put it.actually, if you were intent on re-producing a "the beast", it would still be possible to get the barrels to rotate. you would just disconnect the pump from the air tank, and then you would just pump the pumping handle once for every barrel rotation.
