FIRST GET THE BOTTLE AND THE BIKE VALVE. DRILL A HOLE IN THEN BOTTLE BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BIKE VALVE TO FIT THROUGH THEN DROP THE BIKE VALVE IN THE BOTTLE THEN POKE IT THROUGH THE HOLE GLUE THE BIKE VALVE SO AIR CANT GET THROUGH OR YOU CAN USE PVC PIPE INSTEAD OF A BOTTLE.

Jeez, could your pictures be any blurrier?! And whats with the caps lock? please, try to be a little more informative, and not sound like your yelling all the instructions at everyone. I'm surprised this hasn't been confronted by the admins. I like your ible, it just needs alot more work before you publish.

Lol, dude, add a disclaimer and a warning. Just in case someone got one explode in his face and went to the hospital and point the finger at you (aka. you get sued).

stephenniall says: Apr 28, 2009. 8:11 AM

stephenniall says: Apr 27, 2009. 9:33 AM

i have done a miniture Version off this but i Made it stronger using a technique bottle rockets use with Getting a larger bottle and Shrinking that down to the same size Making it thicker !

sharlston in reply to stephenniallApr 27, 2009. 12:14 PM

HOW DID U MAKE THE BOTTLE SMALLER?

stephenniall in reply to sharlstonApr 27, 2009. 12:41 PM

You cut a slit down the middle Put it over the Other bottle and put a blow torcg (or lighter) near it so it melts it but not to a extent the plastic burns And spin it very slowly it will eventually melt

sharlston in reply to stephenniallApr 27, 2009. 11:25 PM

thanks why dont you post a instructable on the mini version

sharlston says: Apr 25, 2009. 12:44 PM

yep some pics below, first two are over-under combustion launchers, the 3rd is a pneumatic nail gun assult rifle, and the last one is a plinker you can hide in a pencil case and shoot a nail out of

shoestring92 in reply to frank26080115Jul 12, 2008. 6:57 PM

can you tell me how you made all of them if you do can you make the instructions as simple as possible... ...i dont always follow things well

Comrade in reply to frank26080115Apr 8, 2008. 1:08 AM

You should post Instructables for the first one

nice combustions heres one of mine it can launch 1/4 of a mile or moreair cannon

frank26080115 in reply to frankinatorJan 21, 2008. 12:39 PM

I don't have the patience to pump huge guns, I love small pneumatic guns, and large combustion guns

check out this baby I made a few months ago

frank nice design in making a pumatic launcher in a while so will you ckech it out once in a while you look like a expert soo ..... check it out !'

Could I make a suggestion in the name of public safety?.. Dude tape and relatively high pressures don't mix... I get the shakes when I get my galvanised/copper fitting rifle up to 90PSi. If that coke bottle goes, then so's the side of your face.. NOTE TO ALL: Coke bottles are NOT pressure rated! Yes you can get them to 145Psi before they NORMALLY blow up... BUT there is just too many variables... eg.. Heat of plastic, deterioration factor, physical damage... These factors exclude these vessels from having a PSI rating.. If your going to the efforts of making this please .. go to a plumbing shop and get pressure rated fittings.... Then happy shooting!!

receiver545 in reply to LftndbtOct 29, 2007. 5:46 AM

yes coke bottles are pressure rated !!! call them and ask for the max psi they will tell you for a 2L bottle that it is 200psi for a non stressed bottle, for stressed it 150psi (and when i same sressed i mean like theres a hole made in it then patched!!

well nice work but instead of using a bottle us 2in. pvc !! its max psi is 600 so you want have to worry with it blowing up !!! and before you buy any check its max psi take the one with the greatest max psi!! and the put the valve in it !!!!!

have fun shooting !!!!'

dude i think you need to get a new camera

T3h_Muffinator says: Apr 11, 2007. 5:44 PM

It's really ironic... You don't capitalize the title etc, but you write everything that doesn't need to be in caps with capslock on...

locofocos in reply to T3h_MuffinatorApr 21, 2007. 2:41 PM

MAYBE HIS CAPS-LOCK KEY IS BROKEN. TOO BAD IT WAS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION WHEN IT BROKE.

T3h_Muffinator in reply to locofocosApr 21, 2007. 4:38 PM

Broken? If you're missing the key use a pen to push the rubber button down. If your keyboard is broken tape down the shift key so that your font isn't in caps... OR just buy a new keyboard... they're pretty cheap....

lemonie says: Apr 12, 2007. 1:53 PM

You appear to have used some kind of Sellotape(R)?
Tut, tut. Examples of acceptable tapes include:
Duck(R) Tape
duct tape
Gaffer tape

frank26080115 says: Apr 11, 2007. 5:51 PM

jay, you don't know what you are doing a blow gun like that doesn't have nearly enough flow to power a gun with a barrel size like yours and that thing is not gonna take a 100 psi charge without something giving and did you make 2 accounts just so it will show up as a collaboration?!

frank26080115 in reply to frank26080115Apr 11, 2007. 5:56 PM

And WTF you didn't even use hose clamps on those tubes!!!!!!!!!!

btw a soda bottle can take anywhere between 50 to 160 psi
