This is my first homemade. Mofo stands for Machine operated functioning... object (needed a last O in there) It's a simplistic pump gun with a large airtank. The tank is made from two inch pvc and a U bend. The valve is a ball valve I'm borrowing from my friend for now, but I have a solinoid valve that I need some batteries for. The pump can be a bike pump or a ball pump. The range isn't great... yet. Once I fix up this small leak, and hook up the sprinkler valve, it should be getting some nice range. The coolest thing is that it also doubles as a super soaker! :(
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow, when my friend comes over.

If the solenoid valve you have is a sprinkler valve, don't use batteries, mod it! It opens a gajilion times faster and doesnt need batteries.

Definitely mod the sprinkler valve. Don't even bother with a ball valve.

On an unrelated note: I'm loving WratH's new sig. I just listened to "Follow the Reaper" a few times because of it.
