$15.00 pneumatic PVC sniper

$15.00 pneumatic PVC sniper
This is a pneumatic PVC sniper I made for $15.00. It can shoot over 92.5 meters (300 feet) with some accuracy and 9 to 15 meters (30-50 feet) accurately. It holds 100 psi but 60 psi is enough.

actually i dont think you should call it "sniper". it has no scope, not even sights. and then, the gun would wobble when triggering the ball valve, which makes it less accurate.

Isn't the tire valve going to open fast enough? Because i always thought that the best thing to use is a sprinkler valve
