I´m glad The gun is found inspiring. It was quite fun building it. Perhaps there will be a mk II. perhaps not at all. It kinda depends on what parts i found laying around the farm. the >>thing>> inonickname mumbles about sounds fun., and yes it´s a common part. do you spy any custom hammers and weld...

yes, replacing the rubber bands might seem like a obvious way of improving this construction; but in a matter of fact, the rubber bands are here to stay. I can easily adjust the hammers striking force by adding or subtracting a rubber band, to configure the gun for different pressures used. And Also...

all right; I´ll shoot a video tomorrow. It´ll show how the under-lever load the springs and works. the power is OK, not impressive, but OK. Fun to shoot with! yes; it might look a bit scrap-yard-designed, but I build all parts from scratch, including the hammer, and everything. With rather simple to...

The Gun is connected directly to a air source, therefore there is a little interest in counting the shots per fill. concerning the valves direction, if i turn it, i have to have the hammer on the side, which is ugly looking, and also; its a bit to late to turn anything. It´s suppa-glued in place to ...

Old Bessy Sureshot [with a vid]
Now it´s time again. It all began with me finding a one way-valve while taking an old compressor apart. I Looked at it, and saw the possibility to make a hammer activated valve-gun! Its quite "the wild west"-inspired, and you reload it by doing that fancy moves with the long reload-lever (please fil...

Nice gun you've build there! I'm in the opinion that twice the valve; twice the fun. No matter thinking about the percentage of improvement; just the feeling of a dual valve setup in your hands make it worth it; am I right? But please show us the full setup with barrel and such; would be fun to see.

yes. As it is today; i shoot the steel balls; with a very good fit. I can stop bullets in the middle of the barrel (while held horizontal) just bye putting a finger over the top-hole. however; a steel-barrel with the rifles would absolutely be a lot of fun! perhaps I choose that for future projects....
