Man, $115, for some PVC pipe, fittings, a pressure gage and valve.
However best to pay attention to the pressure limits.  My 80 gallon shop 
compressor runs between 125-130 PSI and 90 on the regulated line on the 
wall. That gets stepped down to 40# plus filter and dryer for the paint gun.
The tennis ball with sand would probably be good for 300 yards as well.

I like the one where you use the hair spray and ...never mind<:-)) The 
locals have banned those.
