Now you can let cars know you're there and you are not happy about them cutting you off

I would imagine some cars would be pretty confused to hear a bike with a horn too.

i wanna do this with a train horn... I thought these horns needed to pressurize or something?

probably depends. some might not be feasible, but apparently some are. I think it would be great to see this become a common feature in the future, if a more practical model was developed.

How about utilizing a C02 tank off of a paintball gun?
I'm quite sure there's a way it could be done, just got to figure out the connections.

No, those things seem fixed, as in the amount of pressure being fed through the nozzle is too small.
I'm thinking one could get a truck horn-piece, a regulator-valve, and link this all up to the horn.

Dang, this guy beat me to what I was doing. I bought a $10 horn from
Harbor Freight
and was going to use a 12 volt battery. This has to be killer for CM.
