Ok, here it is. It's my diagram of a gun im going to start building. It shoots water balloons, but i havnt designed that part yet. All we're talkin about here is schrader valves.

should the schrader valve go:
(A) on the front of the chamber
(B) on the bottom of the handle

And Please don't say "(C) Up your..."nevermind

Would me leaving the handle and/or the stock not plugged constrict airflow?

thanx for the advice in advance

If you left the stock and handle unplugged you would lose power as you are increasing dead space.

Put the schrader valve were ever you want it dosent matter,.

You probably shouldn't put the schrader in the bottom of the chamber considering that the handle isn't part of the chamber. :wink:

It shoots water balloons,
You wont be able to shoot water ballons, the friction in te barrel almost always ruptures them. You are not shooting at people are you.

Cover balloons in duct tape as long as you don't shoot them at people

The best thing to do is have a 1/2" to a 1/4" bushing with a 1/2" plug in there, and fill the chamber with water, close it up and pump it up and you got a good super soaker.

I can shoot small water balloons fine with a 2" barrel. Put 1 paper towel down, wrap a water balloon in paper towel and push it down, and an optional 3rd paper towel on top.

I use some soap and they shoot good in one of my barrels but the problem is that the barrel cant have one little rock or scrach because they will pop.

That's a pretty cool idea though...
