i thought of using a piece of 8 1/2" PVC 4 the base and two pieces of PVC big enough to hold those green balls
i would pressurize the base and attatch two hose handles to the barrels
then using a long piece of PVC 4 the drop feed system

whaddya think?

Here's my take on it, it's an interesting idea, but you're going to need alot of pressure to get those balls to fly anywhere, and unless you want an electric pump (well, I suppose it IS a turret gun), it's going to be really, really unwieldy. Interesting idea though, let us know how it turns out.

Next, PLEASE attempt to use proper grammer on the boards. This includes capitalization, punctuation, and an attempt to avoid acronym usage (u, thx, etc.). It's not just me being a nitpicky rat, it's also up at the Code of Conduct at the top of the page. It's also for your own benefit, since people will respect you more on the boards if you attempt to follow these rules.

I care more about the little fluff balls on the sweater I'm wearing right now than how you did type.

Superpressurized? You mean like pumping it till the PVC or your hand shatters? I don't know...

Well experiment. Make one and tell us how it goes.

Sounds like it would be unique and accomplishable. I'll try ot get a diagrpahm of a past air-pressure powered pump gun.

Just buy one of those nerf picthing machines, and aim it at your enemies general direction. You can load it with nerf balls if you don't want to shoot the baseballs.

I made a simple air cannon back in the NO days that shot ballistic balls wieghted with slingshot ammo. It got about 70 feet on 60 psi. I unfortunately threw it away/cannbalized it for spud gun parts.
