where can you get an air compresser and how much will it cost?

[bwpatton1]

Pretty much any hardware store, even walmart, it depends what you want. If you want a little pancake compressor then it might cost like $50 or you could get a super bad one that cost $900. Whatever you want

[beehard44]

i saw an air compressor in a japanese refurbished shop (pcpark japan) for 2,500 pesos (around 50 dollars)
P.S. it was the badass kind

[Thelonelysandwitch]

you can get a compressor from many places, like Kmart, home depot, lowes, harbor freight, and sears. The small ones start from $80, to the big ones that can cost up to $800 bucks. A good one will cost you around 1-200 bucks. _{thats what mine was around}

I'm using a bigger barrel so I was thinking a AAA bateries

[Thelonelysandwitch]

they fit in this barrel, but they dont go too far, mabye 20 feet, I use Little plastic bullet shaped things I found in my garage, they fly like 150 feet.

[beehard44]

wrap some electrical tape or tissue around it for a tight fit

[Shadowfury]

Maybe dead lithium batteries would go further?

[Thelonelysandwitch]

or a modded capacitor (charged)

[Capt. Fat]

If its put under more pressure, eventually it will go BOOM!!! And then you'll say "Now there's your problem!"

[Thelonelysandwitch]

No, ur wrong, the doctor will say "well there's your problem" while looking at my x-ray showing metal shrapnel.
