Well that is the second time that I have heard that this pump is shite, it was only 15 bucks so it wont be the end of the world if it breaks.
Its lasted a couple weeks of heavy use and I would like it to atleast last a month or two more.

I was thinking all you need is a 90 out the BV and a pipe for a shoulder stock (open at the bottom to vent).(?)
You could connect a rod from trigger to BV or some kind of spring action.
(maybe remove the BV handle and use mouse/rat trap spring).

Also I am thinking a silencer, (even that size) could be constructed more effective using couplings with fender washers or similar between each coupling. (couplings glued almost back to back)
Maybe with rubber washers sandwiched between two washers for the baffles. :roll: 8)

Yeah I am thinking of spring loading the ball valve.
And the gun isnt *that* loud so i dont really see the need to silence it.
You cant here it from indoors which means happy neighbors.
But that might be something worth trying with a louder gun.

very impressive rifle bb. man...for a rifle that slick couldn't you spend just a few more bucks and replace that pvc ball valve with a sprinkler valve?

That way you could have a trigger set-up resembling a rifle, and you could actually aim it.

Also, when you get the time/money, it needs a stock and sight bad!!! It's such a nice gun...I would hate to see it not "decked-out".

Again, very nice work. Impressive power for it's small size. Very impressive :wink:

And Ill go take a couple pics of the piston as I neglected to do so at first.

Well thanks for putting in the time to make those drawings but I already have put a sprinkler on it with a trigger setup so I can easialy shoulder fire it.
And it will be getting a scope sometime within the next week or two.

I will put pics up of it when I get a chance to paint the sprinkler so it blends with the rest of the cannon.
