I have everything in the drawing above assembled and the m72 tube gutted but i just cannot get the piston valve to work. I made the piston out of a 1" pvc cap wrapped in duct tape with a piece of gasket material to seal onto the inner barrel. http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm435/Martyr_Maker/100...

Now to the issue at hand. I went the coaxial route that was suggested early on. http://i318.photobuck...

its actually around 66mm. The 2" pipe fits in fine but the fittings do not. That, among other things, is the biggest problem spot.

just needs to shoot out the mini vortex nerf rockets. We use them to take out bunkers, vehicles, or just lob them like a mortar with a 15' kill radius.

Thanks for the welcome! i searched around prior to posting this thread, the only relevant thread had a bunch of ideas but nothing conclusive. The guy who started the thread was building the entire thing from scratch. body, internals, everything. This gave him the ability to scale everything up. That...

well the C02 kinda creates a problem for me because most of the airsoft fields dont allow C02 in custom launchers. The only other gas besides compressed air that can be used is HFC134 or "green gas" which is basically propane. Nice thing about air is it is free so i prefer it.
