Mr Stay Pufft I love the idea, so I went out ,before hitting up the parents for Christmas dinner, and got to Lowes.
Now I found several pipe coupplers that fit the same size requirements that Mr.SP is talking about but most if not all of them would take some modification. That's when I found this
This part is 1 1/4" in diameter and fits on the end of the gun very snug. I can't remember what it's called but total cost was $1.50
After some paint
and attached to the hose.
Now two things about my hose. 1. It's split so it doesn't really want to close. 2. it's a little long, so I cut off a small length and not quite wide enough, so I too some of the scrap and wrapped it on the other side to fill in the gap.
A clear rubber band from one of the 12" GB's and we get this
And a little video to go along with the pics.
http://goo.gl/CniI22 It's really nice and snug and I have no worry that it'll come off. When I display my pack there isn't enough room in the case to hook the thrower on so I put it on the side, this make that much easier as I can just pop the hose off.
The rubber bands are a tamp measure, I intend to affix the hose much more permanently to the coupler soon.
You may also notice the missing green wire. I got some nuts that are just a touch to big so I'm going to sand down the sides a bit and put them in the holes left behind by the rubber green hose and then I can fit the clippard valves and the more accurate green hose on it. Lastly going to paint the banjos a nice brass with silver nuts and call it a Hero Gun.
One thing everyone has talked about is how light the gun as and frankly I am thankful. That resin gun I had was pretty heavy and weighed down the right side of the pack really bad. Now it's much more easy to put on and take off and the addiction of the throwers lights and sounds have improved my meager pack quite a bit.
Happy Bustin'
And I'll see you next mission.
