I'm not convinced he has to worry about a failure of the pipe, not the way he's going about his fun ------especially when he's already experienced a failure---confirming what I've been lead to believe about ABS. It doesn't fail the same way PVC does-------which is why ABS is acceptable for airlines. You maybe have heard of the green stuff sold for the purpose? Harold |

I gotta send you guys some pictures of my CO2 powered "anti tank gun"
I make my own projectiles from molded foam. BTW, did I mention I'm into paintball? Oh, here, I found some old pictures from when I was working on it. The project wasn't completed yet, but it will give you the idea. http://home.mchsi.com/~mnotlyon/tank/c9.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~mnotlyon/tank/c10.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~mnotlyon/tank/c11.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~mnotlyon/tank/c12.jpg "Harold and Susan Vordos" wrote in message ...

Having blow up lots of guns experimentally, I can tell you that the
woman with the torch lighting the balloon is in the wrong position. One wants to be to the rear and to the side. Just to the side is about as bad a position as possible, as fragments break off and go sideways with enough velocity to go through plywood. Clark -- For choosing to fight, one gets the horrors or war, stress, and possibly death. For choosing not to fight, one gets subjugation, humiliation, and possibly death. Choose your fights carefully. |
