Hi Guy's,

May I ask what is the accurate range of the paint you are shooting ?
The marker I have made using sprinkler valves operates at 60psi and it certainly 
splats 
the paint, it is, however, not accurate after about 60 metres....I think it may be 
the 
curtain rod I am using for the barrel....there is about 0.05 mm gap between the 
round 
and the metal, it shoots well and does not chop...well not much anyway....the rounds 
fly out to at least 150 metres and more, just not where I send them  which could be 
painful for people watching....What is a new barrel worth in the states ? and would 
it 
solve the problem ?
