Ok I wanted to make a more powerful bb gun but I don’t want to be restricted by an air compressor... so would the idea of using like propane instead of air work you think? Ide make it look rater decent also not some piece of $shit just thrown together. Also about how much psi would 2"x12" PVC combustion produce like 60 psi I think?
Thanx,
Spyider

you could only chuk a few down the barrel then launch em in 1 go before you had to reload the gass

OK, um walsh, I can't understand what you are saying. Insight is good, but not if it is unintelligible. >>>>Dont you like that word?
Annnnny way, I think that it sounds worth trying, but what dia is the bb?
It should have a fair amount of power, if its like a .177 caliber, and airsoft should be pretty good. I would consider using a portable compressed air tank instead of combustion, and carry around a spare.
I wanted to make a more powerful bb gun
What bb gun do you want it to be more powerful than?

Getting the mix right could be a challenge in a sensibly sized chamber.
I'd make a pneumatic using a small QEV, and a bike pump - it would be more reliable and rather easier.

Yeah, pneumatic makes so much more sense. Although,killagorilla, you can't beat that satisfaction of a combustion.

the reason i want combustion is so its protable.. and i personally like cumbustion more its just somthing abbout the BOOM! lol. because i can put a silencor on the barrel that actually works and then it sounds quieter than a pneumatic but w/e any tips ? and as i referd to as a "more powerfull bb gun" i ment one of them gay wal-mart pump 10X and shoot pieces of junk thingys.

1.don't call it a "cumbustion"...please don't.
2.you can put a silencer on a pneumatic that works....
3.you can attach a small bike pump to pump up the chamber as the chamber wouldn't be massive and shouldnt take long with a pump.

Lmao!
Cumbustion,
sounds like some kind of errmm...Video.
Combustions only relese pressure for a fraction of a second btw, so ya, don't expect much.

You can when you shoot a golf ball in exess of 1000 feet With a piston valve.

i think he means the spark, Boom i like it more but its up to the person lol. some people think that a combustion will explode when egnighted, it has the same chance is less than a pneumatic. w/e were getting off topic! and no one has really answer my Q!

get rid of the / before the writing. It should look like this
(except without the space after the e on quote). the one after all the writing stays the way it is.

huh? "the satisfaction of a combustion" is no different than that of a pneumatic. I mean, they are not better, or more difficult to build, or more powerful. that is a personal opinion. I, myself, like pneumatics better. more powerful, and more of a challenge to build.(depends on what kind of valve,etc)
somthing like killa's or mine will kick a combustion bb gun's butt any day
here's mine

A pneumatic can beat a similarly sized and properly built combustion (I'm not talking about one with a ridiculous C:B ratio) for sheer noise any day.
A small bore copper piston cannon will create a very solid "bang" - comparable to combustions several times it's size.
