You could afford to have a much longer barrel, it would inprove accuresy and power.
You could add another 3 foot.

That thing looks awsome other than the loose blowgun, what did you use for the barrel? 1/2"? 3/4"?

I'm currently making a coaxial piston, it should be done soon, it has a 1/2" barrel and 1" chamber


I used to think Bell Reducers looked stupid, but this gun is really a beauty, for how simple your design is I can't believe it looks so great... :D good job

thanks mate. I used 1/2 inch tubing for the barrel. It has been set into the 1"male thread with bondo (Car Body Filler) holds it like a treat. Goes so well.

The but insn't full of air i have got copper 1/2 lines inside that pass throught so the but isnt pressurised.

Goes throught a spray can double sides easy.
smashes car front windscreen. perspecs 1/2 thick.

in regards to that, The barrel is about 1.5 feet longer than the chamber on the bottom side. If it was any bigger you wouldnt be able to use it like a rifle due to the size, its a rifle not a cannon.

A suggestion about long pvc barrels. It is not to good to have them over about a meter because with my new barrel for paintballs it tends to bend, so you loose your acuracy. But the barrel that mitch has on there in the photo is fine because it is metal. You just need to have some weight at the back to counter-balance the heavy barrel.
