It is a breechloader that uses cam lever couplings in the breech loading system.
There are multiple barrel attachments too, like a Breech Loadable Rifled 1.5" SCH 40, Breech Loadable Smoothbore 1.5" SCH 40, Sleeved Golf Ball Barrel, and 2.5" SCH 40 Tennis ball barrel. This gun can also use the burst disk attachment and its various size barrels. Quadzilla will soon be getting a 3" barrel for pop cans/bottles and a 2" barrel for limes and large spuds.

the way that he shows to wire sparks in his website is just an ultra simplified version of it. in one of the pictures you can see a closeup of the wiring... what he did was he wen from the taser, to the left of the picture... then on the inside the electricity jumps a gap and goes to the small one on the right... then it goes to the long one, then to the other short one, then to thetaser again

Electric current is carried into chamber through bolts.
Barrels are connected with so-called "banjo couplers". The specific ones used here have threaded (NPT) attachments, and are screwed (more or less permenatly, in this case) onto some threaded adapters which are solvent welded (bit like gluing) to the pipe.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, I dont believe boogieman posts on this site. However he used 2.5" sch 40 pvc pipe. Next time use the search function or look it up on the wiki.
