Stay away from glass, it’s unpredictable. Go to hardware store and look thru their pipe for some that’s big enough. They should have ends and threaded fittings to fit your bike pump. The first time you pressurize it fill it with water and take it up to 1.5x the pressure you want to use. If the pipe ruptures you’ll only have a small volume of compressed air in it so it’ll just spray water around. Small bang not a big one.

Thanks for this tip. Ill tty to see if I can find anything like that, though ive found finding proper pvc pipes is bothersomely difficult. If i can find any ill go for it, but if not ill still keep the water tip. And yeah ill avoid glass, much appreciated

I used 6" schedule 40 pvc for my spud gun and it handles 80psi fine. It's rated for 180psi.
