Step 11: Et cetera<br />
Thanks for all the positive responses so far. I will post updates to the build and attachments here. I came up with the safety after negligently discharging a net while filling<br />
the pressure chamber. It is so easy to make, every responsible net gun owner should have one. I developed the tennis ball attachment while working on an older net gun<br />
design that had a 2" net holder, it is a lot of fun for the $3 it costs to make.<br />
Mechanical Trigger Safety<br />
A very simple mechanical safety that will prevent the net gun from firing in the event the trigger is unintentionally actuated.<br />
Supplies<br />
Scrap 1/2" pvc pipe<br />
Small rubber band<br />
Assembly<br />
Cut a short length of 1/2" pipe, probably between 1/4" and 3/8", it will depend on the specifics of the blow gun. It needs to fit under the blow gun handle and be<br />
thick enough to prevent the handle from depressing the valve underneath. You made need to cut a wedge out of one side of the ring to allow it to slip under the<br />
handle.<br />
Loop rubber band around one end of ring, and through itself. Take the free loop of the rubber band and slide onto the body of the blow gun valve.<br />
To put ON SAFE, slide ring around brass valve underneath lever Fig 1. To take OFF SAFE, slide ring down and out of the way of valve and lever Fig 2.<br />
Tennis Ball Launcher<br />
The inside diameter of a 2" PVC coupler fits a tennis ball perfectly. If you own a ball chasing canine, this will forever associate the bang of <strong>com</strong>pressed air with the joy of<br />
the chase.<br />
