You can probably use (steel) electrical conduit for the barrel, as SB15 and I told Crowley in the past. 10 feet will run you... $20 max? You'll have to get creative when attaching it to your camlocks though. I've never used camlocks before so I couldn't tell you about their safety factor. Do some r...

Thanks for all the replys! I plan on making a hubb style spark plug like Zeus recommended as for the barrel I really want to get 1 1/2" copper but that is over $50 for a 10 foot section :shock: so I might try sleeving abs or possibly aluminium if i can find a piece cheap. What would be a good barrel...

My First Hybrid

Well after building many combustions and pneumatics i decided to venture into the hybrids. All the launcher is built out of galvanized iron and i plan to take it up to about 5x max due to the camlock coupler having a 250 psi working limit. I plan on shoulder firing it when i find a large bore barrel...

3/4 QEV gun

This is my first all metal gun and it is a beast. So far i have only taken it up to 160psi due to the compressors limit but i am looking for a cheap high pressure supply. The air chamber is 1 1/4 galvanized pipe and has a 1/2 copper barrel. Any Questions comments or improvements are welcome! http://...

mini blowgun combustion

With winter coming around I decided to build a mini that i could fire inside and here is what I came up with. It is a pill bottle with a 40 cal. barrel,butane direct inject, and a bbq ignitor. It will put a blowgun dart through a 1inch piece of pine http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4228/wholegun.j...

I have some problems with my regulator...was wondering if you had better success? Ill try to get up pics of fueling device later but...

Starting this project i really did not think that a little fan, multiple sparks, and some metered propane would make much of a difference over my old spray and pray gun but man was i wrong lol. Not sure of what kind of speed im getting but potatos ...
