Compliments, critisms, death threats, they're all welcome.

This contest may have some flaws, as people can simply be a deuschbag over the internet. By Lying.
A war-like setting/invitational would be better...

Because they're Latex, they will start to deteriate after a couple of fills each balloon.
Let us know how these turn out, and yes, pics would do marvels.
Also don't forget that replacing the spring from a RF20 piston with a stronger one will slow the ROF down significantly since there is a regular amount of pressure in that bladder.

If you're going to use rubber tubing too, don't be stupid like most people and use the bladder from an existing Nerf gun. Buy latex rubber tubing from the same link I gave you before. With the right tubing layer combination, you will easily get more power than anything Hasbro has made.
What TIG has described does occur, but not as dramatically as he made it seem. It will take a lot of expansions for the rubber to thin enough to be noticably thinner. And even then, it won't perform too much worse than it normally did. There's always the option of replacement with rubber bladder systems too, something I always recommend. A homemade CPS water gun I made two years ago is on it's third bladder because replacement is good.

Sorry, I meant that unless you filter the in-going air.

If you filter the air before use, you'd just waste your money on a filter.
The rubber tubing will thin slowly with use regardless of what it is holding. As long as it is stretching, it will thin. What I was saying is that it does not thin quickly and thinning isn't too bad. The tubing actually does thin faster if you allow it to expand more in width - this is why Larami made the pressure chamber containers of some Super Soakers smaller than the tube can expand.
