Id say the titian is the easiest to mod and well is the more enjoyable one to mod (get crazy range and power out of it in about 20 mins) but you know your choice.

Also making the extra turrets for the mav is something i could force my friend to make because he needs a project for cnc at my school. So he could draw it up once and cut it out a bunch of times throw the barrels in and bam new turret.

I would suggest a bigger tank and using 1 inch pipe and a inch valve will allow for faster air. But thats what i think as i did the same and well got some good distances. Now working on a more powerful one. Oh and good choice on integrating the pump into the gun that came as a after thought when i made mine.

I'm really not sure about the thickness of the steel can. I know 3/16 is kinda thick i know. ill try to get a real measurement but there are 4 distinct dents in the metal. Also its a really old paint thinner can so my friend and I are kinda scared to open it.

Need thicker darts 1/2 FBR is really small in 1/2 PVC god 1/8 inch gap between the sides and the dart.


Pictures soon just made a more powerful cannon so ill be using that for now.


2 tanks 1" PVC at 12inches long. Will be testing after i get a leak fixed.

In Topic: Barrel Length

Another thing a good ratio of 3-4: 1 is good if its a airpowered gun, but if its a plunger a ratio of about 2-3: 1 is good.

Also the airpressure in a air or plunger gun is not constant it may seem constant but it is not. It has to accelerate to its top speed and the point where the does not accelerat any further is the point that the nerf dart has gotten all of its speed. The distance from the first point to the other point is hte length of the barrle. Usually just finding hte volume and such is good enough then just multiply or divide it by 2 or 4 and you got your self a barrle or a tank.
