This is my first pneumatic. it's a pretty simple over-under design with a modded one inch orbit sprinkler valve. I think it turned out good cause its clean and pretty powerful, way more than my other combustino one

Nice basic pneumatic! You also did a superb good on gluing cause I dont see any primer or glue marks. Or did you follow my method of clear primer and glue? How about some hang time tests?

Sorry for my eyes wondering off the gun and to the back ground but where do you live? Looks like you have a realtivly expensive house, w/ a lexus, and palm trees. From my expeirence you would get harassed in such a aera for making a homemade launcher that projects large diameter ammo. Just wondering if you have a problem because my freind lives in a high-class neighborhood and his neighbors threatned to ban them from the neighborhood after he has violated several rules and there a bunch of old b*tchs.

The valve is an orbit 1" its about 12-14 bucks and the trigger is just a standard shop blowgun 4-6 bucks so a total of like 20 bucks and if u look in the how-to section it will explain how to mod the same exact valve with a similar blowgun or you could buy one from joel premade at spudtech for like 30 bucks i think.
