I have an idea for a homemade gun. I want to use a RF20 pump and tank for a high powered long range dart gun. The problem is I dont know if it will let out enough air at once to fire it a long way. If This is the case could i use a bigger tube to get more air out at once?

Well, this leads us to the obvious question; What are you using for a valve?

Right, so the issue is a bottleneck between the tank and the valve? Yeah, larger tubing is good. Common sense tells me that the tubing should be about the diameter of the hole through which the air is released in the airtech valve, or smaller (though minor bottleneck issues will occur if it's smaller). But I could always be wrong. It happens really often.
