1:Dead topic, don't post in dead topics and it was posted by the admin not the builder who doesn't browse these forums.
2:He used PVC...SCH40 I believe.
3:Can you post sensibly, don't neeeeeeeedddd to drag your wwwoooorrrddds.
4:13 posts in one day,clam down,don't dig up old topics,don't call other's noob's when your not looking to flash either, and I hear you have built some guns, why don't you post some? Another way to boost your post count without spamming.
5:"yeah! i made one mini something like that, most of the plan came from this... this is a good start up for the noobs.. " Umm you didn't even know what a co-ax was so STFU and you thought you could see flames in a clear chambered pneumatic.

whatch out with these shoulder launched weapons, i built a co2 rocket and when i first fired it at 70PSI it blew me off my feet, and the thing was thrown backwards. lol. just thought i let ppl know so you dont all have to go throught that. Its not all that fun, and my frigger was damnaged. These things are pretty powerful.

I like how this gun is built using the stock as its chamber, it appears to have very little dead space.
It seems like if you are going to go buy a sprinkler valve you might as well mod it...

I get my handheld rifle to pretty high pressures, it kicks back, but it dosn't throw me down or anything, how large was the chamber you were using?

lol its massive for a shoulder launched. its 40in x 2in pipe and a 1in U bend thats about 12 inches in lenghth total. It was an interesting experiment. It even has considerable kick when firing blank. Il make it a thread soon.

that is very well done but i think that air chamber is quit big but if your shooting potatoes that will do the job. i have a pneumatic that shoots marbles and my tank is about 1L but other wise thata is a great gun
