It will be mounted on a tripod, with an electric pump. The pump we're using is designed to run off of a car's 12v battery, but we're going to use an adaptor to step down the 220v AC wall current to 12v DC. This design is really simple, as my friends and I are all newbies.
The way it works: We let the pump run untill the air resivoir is at an appropriate pressure. Then, just open the valve and air will continually stream out. We're going to pump up the pressure to something signicantly higher than the pressure nerf guns normally use, because we intend to lose alot via the feed mechanism. We'll either use a gravity-fed clip, or construct a chain with an electric motor to push darts in front of the stream of air. It'll obviously be very inefficent.
My question is this: What pressure do nerf guns normally fire at? I was remembering it as something around 15psi, but Capt. Slug mentioned 40psi in one of his recent posts. We had only planned on pumping up the tank to somewhere around 40-60 psi...
