I'd say the Tigers cannon was reasonably consistent with it's setup. The barrel is a bit over 10 feet long and it's pressure chamber is roughly 2 feet long. 60 psi gives us shots ranging from 200 to 220 there. I've thought about hooking up the 1 foot pressure chamber to see how much of a difference there is. I suspect that even cutting the pressure chamber volume roughly in half may not drop the velocity all that much. We'll see. I have changed the regulator over to a welding reg instead of the inline centerflag. The centerflag wasn't meant to used around 50 psi and just isn't working out lately at pumping out 1/4 of it's minimum pressure. This weekend pretty much revolves around getting our apartment into some sort of order and gearing up for retrieving my truck from NJ Monday afternoon. So no cannon stuff this weekend, that's a shame since the weather is fantastic. : Also--- are you able to get good consistency with the Supah valve using higher pressure (70-100) and a small reservoir, or is a low pressure (30-60) and larger reservoir setup more likely to produce consistency?
