This was based off of Kaneda's sniper. I has a 1" sch. 40 chamber. The chamber is also the stock. It has a modified sprinkler valve. A 4 ft. 1/2" barrel. and... thats pretty much it except for the foldable bipod. I will be adding a scope, grip, and strap. No ranged tests yet since my pump is broken. The gun may not even be able to work. I hope I'll be lucky.
Anyways....

At a whopping 53 and a half inches, it's bigger than my spudzooka!

Very nice, but that first picture scared the crap out of me! I wasn't expecting it at all

It looks good!

Do you have the clear tube from the sprinkler valve connected to the blowgun with the male end of quick connect, or does it just look like that in the picture?

The tube is on the end that connects to the compressor, that's where it's supposed to be isn't it?
Oh yeah, when I first tested the gun before my pump broke I pressed the trigger and most of the air went out of the blowgun and what little air did go out through the other valve was very weak. Is something wrong. I only tested it to 30 psi. Maybe if I pump it up to 120 psi it will work right?

I was acutely referring to the pilot tube coming out of the sprinkler valve.

It looks like you used a male quick connect instead of a barbed tube fitting. Everything else looks just fine it should work great.

I'm not wearing a mask...

Yes the stock thing is wooden.

I will fire whatever will fit into the barrel. I can't seem to find any marbles that fit. Any suggestions. Yes I already know about magnetix balls but their too expensive. I will also shoot dungdarts (will post a how-to later).

worn out AA batteries fit, baby carrots, grapes, ball bearings, pea gravel, umm, let's see, pencils cut in half wrapped in tape ( preferably sharpened),and the marbles out of old spray paint cans fit in 1/2 inch barrels perfectly.

Looks pretty good, but for some reason I just don't like your stock design.
