Blasphemy. I think you need to throw yourself against a wall, drive to store and buy yourself a brain.

If it only holds pressure for 5 minutes then it's not an air-tight tank.

PVC pipe is meant to use PVC fittings, PVC primer, and PVC cement to get a seal. While a nickle will fit in 1/2 inch couplers and nearly in 3/4 inch pipe, it's not anywhere near as good. I don't want to be there when the nickle shoots out and hits someone or something. The fact that it leaks might have saved you from disaster because a leak is much better than something shooting out.
Please, for your own safety, discontinue use of the "air tank" you made. It's not much of an air tank to begin with, and it is just plain dangerous!

But now it only has modded nitefinder ranges, anbout 60-70 feet.
As soon as I find my didgital camera, I will take some new pics of the new updated version, my mom bought some paint markers, they are the ones with paint on them so you can write with them, so for looks, I added an orange tip, and wrote MPING on the barrel and air tank.

Please, just buy a PVC cap. They should be about 50 cents at your local hardware store; a fair price to pay for your safety. I tried to use a non-PVC part to cap an airtank once, and only once. I'm lucky that it blew off away from me. You may not be so lucky. Even the smallest airtank can hold a surprising amount of energy. This can not be stressed enough.and i dont know the exact size, but it fits a nickle in it tightly

When you or someone you know dies because of the nickel flying out and hitting someone, pretty much everyone on this forum will be saying, "I told you so."Here it is, a little sloppy.
Do you really need a ton of threads for this one homemade?
God dammit man.
Cussing, cursing, swearing, using profanity: All I have to say is why the hell not.
Because every time you do God kills a kitten.
Everytime you miss an opportunity to say 'fuck' I'm going to eat a kitten.

Hmm...What i did was i got some really wide pvc pipe from walmart, and i dont know the exact size, but it fits a nickle in it tightly, so i cut it to about 3 inches tall, stuck a nickle in the bottom, coated the top of the nickle with hot glue and glued it to the bottom of my pistol grip sprinkler valve, i also added a tubless tire valve to the pvc and it holds pressure for over 5 minutes, the nickle makes a perfect seal.
And by the way... Brass

Brass is an ass hole.
Maybe he is (although I really doubt it), but you've made so many threads about your little POS home-mades that is really just ticks everyone off when you make thread after thread about the same god-damned gun.

I hot glued a washer on my NF plunger head, and opened it up, and did a dry fire, and it smacked me in the eye! the washer fucking hurt!
Don't use it, use a cap because it has the same effects.

nerfer909, you don't seem to want to take advice from several members of NerfHaven who are highly experienced in the matters at hand, namely, pressurized air in PVC pipes, which is indeed VERY dangerous in the wrong hands.
Doom is an administrator and senior member at the prominent SuperSoaker web forums, and he's more than experienced in working with pressurized air in plastic.
CaptainSlug needs no explanation, his homemades here speak for themselves, namely his own air tank and delivery/ regulation system.
ALL THEY, AND OTHERS HERE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO IS TO PURCHASE A 20 CENT PVC ENDCAP, AND GLUE IT ON PROPERLY. This is in accordance to what all of us at NerfHaven, who build air-pressure powered home mades, advocate. Anything else is considered dangerous and unnecessarily risky.
And calling us assholes for bringing it up isn't helpful.
Why do we need more than one forum thread for each of your homemades? First the mini-mi, now this one.
Forget it. Apparently it isn't sinking in. Maybe this will help. Consider this a favor.
nerfer909,
Your member account at NerfHaven has been temporarily suspended.
Take some time off to make your homemades safer, to watch and learn a little about how the others post on the forum, and to give everyone a little break from your work. I hope to see you refreshed and maybe even with a new (and safer) homemade.

N-strike, enough commentary for now. You were warned. Be glad that it isn't a 9999. Go sit in a corner for a month.

keef; I'm at a loss for words. Don't be the poster child for why we SHOULDN'T modify Nerf blasters. Last warning on the dumb posts.
