Well......Not much to this gun, just some spare plumbing parts,a sprinkler valve I wasn't using and a air compressor.

Barrel:Bike stand(fits BB's perfectly)
Chamber:1/2" plumbing fittings.
Valve:Un-used 1" sprinkler
PSI:115psi

If I built a hopper for this it could be full-auto,semi-auto or burst fire but im not in the mood right now,this only took 30min to find and put together. Here is the gun:

Damage Pics(2 layers of cardboard, the bb's stopped after the first as there was a 'gap' between the 2 layers.

I love how so many takes pics of themselves looking down at a gun and you see their toes. I know I'm guilty of it!

Anyway, that looks like a cool little gizmo. Bet it hurts like a mofo though.

Ricochets are usually painful with high powered BB guns. With my Crosman 760 airgun, I accidentally shot myself in the chest on a ricochet because I was sooting something else point blank. The BB bounced and went into my chest and I had to pull it out with tweezers.

I was in 5th grade, OK man? We were all dumb at one point. It had been a Christmas present and the next day I went to see if it could shoot through a steel sawhorse. :lol: Not exactly one of my brighter ideas.

I think a 250 psi shot with a sprinkler valve might not be too fun.

yeah your bbgun would kick my ass,as this is only one shot so far as I havn't made a hopper and I made the gun out of my SG paintball rifle as the FE's need to get welded and I was bored. It's taken apart now as im working on my new Paintball rifle with 2 FE's. It was a fun project not a proper gun I just posted it for the hell of it.

Man I would love to know where you got your barrel from? Is it a perfect fit for bb's? All the plumbing shops around where I live don't have anything that narrow. I live in NZ.
Airbeds... so many different uses
