Hey, I love your forum. Ok this is my first gun (exept a few mini combustions, But they cant be counted) The chamber is adopted of my friend's big golf ball pneumatic he calls "Dr menace!". I had always wanted a pneumatic, But needed some help. My friend told me this guy from your forum was sendong him a valve, and he showed me the gun he was going to build when he got it. I had some money so I said " lets make one NOW!" So we did.

LMAO!

Myself, I'd have suspected that venting into the barrel would lose a little power, or have no effect.

I'm not complaining... Just don't expect me to copy it.
