Ok guys here's my new gun...
It has a 18'' chamber made out of 3'' abs, a 30'' barrel made of 1.5'' abs It also has a laser sight (gettho, but it works)
Oh and by the way i know the chamber is too big but i made it this way so I could put a bigger or longer barrel.
And now a few pics of the beast: Hope you like it

All it needs is a ball valve to vent it out instead of the clean-out cap, and then you can officially call it an "advanced combustion gun".
Nice work. Well researched, cleanly built.
How many guns have you built prior to this one?
Peace,
Pete Zaria.

I am thinking of adding a ball valve to vent it but I just cant find any of the right size and I don't feel like ordering one of the internet and this is my seccond combustion.
I will add damage pics as soon as I get back home (I'm at school right now...)

This one looks fantastic! But isn't it a hybrid due to the fuel-meter?
anyhow, looks very good once again!

A hybrid uses compressed air with fuel in the chamber - this one burns fuel and air at atmospheric pressure therefore is not considered a "hybrid" by the conventional definition.

Thats a nice gun. That fan fits in there perfectly, almost looks like a part of the chamber. Nice laser pointer.
