Since the responses tell me that i cant get a strong enough spring then i think im better off dropping the idea then. Can anyone explain the single stroke and multi-stroke air rifles to me? Cause i cant seem to get why they can get so much power from just 1 or a few strokes of the pump, and isnt it ...

i think my sandpaper is too fine, it smoothens my barrel instead :(
I'm facing the same problem as theBOOM, but this third time i hope it adheres. My epoxy is a finishing resin that can be used with fiberglass.

Cheers.

I recently found a small diameter pipe to use as my barrel and i used jsr's(i think) method of using epoxy to seal the barrel with the chamber. I created a base, poured epoxy from the top, and left it to set for a day. Af...

Oh i had that problem, it isn't the OS.
What i did was i cleanly removed GGDT, and i redownloaded and reinstalled it.
Worked perfectly fine after that. Windows XP doesn't have a compatibility tab cause you dont need it.

Im not good in electronics, but would a potentiometer work? Potentiometers can be connected to work as a rheostat. These can salvaged easily.

Putting things in a simple way, you(alucard) should go browse around the how-to/wiki/showcase sections to get a better idea of how these spudguns are being made/work. All of us did that, and nobody is getting any free detailed plans on making a complete spudgun, not to mention with those high specif...
