How to: .50 cal semi-auto

Awesome how-to video! I'm working on a semi-auto with same reloading mechanism, but I intend to use cartridges instead. And I'm so jealous of your valves. You just clean your room and you happen to find a couple valves laying around.

can't wait to see what you turn this into!

If I get any time, I´d make this in to a M82 look like .50cal rifle.

lol, that is some basic pneumatics... a single one is much easyer because it has only one pilot side, the oter is exaust (waste air from the piston) also you need a les complicated (3/2 ventil (dont know te right word)), a double action piston needs a 5/2 ventil

this is in normal pneumatic diagrams not spudguns xD

You mean 3/2 valves...
Now stop confuse people, it´s not necessary to use a 5/2 valve to use a double acting pneumatic cylinder. I used a double acting with a 3/2 valve.

So I made a simple .50 cal semi-automatic using 1/2 inch stainless steel tube as the barrel. It works like the most basic 3-way+QEV+pneumatic cylinder semi-autos, the cylinder it´s connected to the chamber of the QEV and it´s used for reload.
Any question just ask POLAND_SPUD

Check out the "how to make a semi-automatic airgun for beginners" thread (I'm on my phone so I can't link it, it's in the how to data base as well). But basically you just need to use a smaller 3-way and cylinder (probably order a custom one).

so simple but so nice

now make it so it have more power for your steel bb's

Simple just use higher pressure. Kind loud when fire it with 20 bar or higher

Semi auto, power, ergonomics, all in one. Clearly something built by wyz2285
