Noob wanting to make an air gun...

Hi guys, I've decided I want to make an airgun to shoot BB's and I am wanting some advice on the inner workings of an air gun. To my understanding, you could make an airgun with a bike pump (to compress the air) attached to tubing or a cylinder (to hold the compressed air) and then attached to a valve to keep that air in and to release that air into the barrel. Is this correct? If so, any advice on what parts I actually need to buy? I'm looking to be as cheap as I can and to use a bike pump as I think that would be one of the cheapest ways. Thanks!

This guy made pretty much what you want, does't get much simpler.

Just made this up to try the ball valve, it works really well
