hey dudes im building a new gun. thanks to Bunnings building a new store where i live i can finally get my hands on a sprinkler valve. but i wanted something different. a gun where i can get 2 shots without pumping up again so i will be putting 2 cambers on it that will be regulated using ball valves. just wondering if anyone has done this before and how well it worked.
i want it to be like a rifle shooting marbles. bout 125 psi.
does anyone no the weight of 1/2inch marbles. ive searched but gotten lost in the 30 or so pages
new gun. new a little advice
Easy. Density of glass * volume of marble... about 2.5 to 3 grams.carter wrote:does anyone no the weight of 1/2inch marbles. ive searched but gotten lost in the 30 or so pages
Double chambers is nothing new, nor is it that useful. I'd still use a single chamber any day.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

i'm thinking something hand held so i can understand when you say its bulky. but i was thinking bout having one camber under the barrel and the other in th stock
At my lemonade stand I used to give the first glass away free and charge five dollars for the second glass. The refill contained the antidote

You could just arrange the chambers end to end, i don't see how it would change the overall shape of the cannon.

Well who said a one chambered gun is ghetto?carter wrote:and its bout time i made a cannon thats not ghetto.
It's really not worth it, if you use a sprinkler valve as long as it's hooked up to a continous supply of air like CO2 or an air compressor it can be semi-auto.
It's just really pointless unless there is a reason to have two chambers.
Just build something like <A HREF="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... 0">This</a> if you're shooting marbles
all my other guns have been a little dodgey. this gun i'm going to bondo the stock etc... make it look sweet. but a lot of people have done the same sort of thing i just want it different. thats why i'm thinking dual chambers. also with the compressor i want portability so thats out of the question but i may use the co2.

I quite agree with MrC - since when has a single chambered launcher been a ghetto design? (Unless JSR is making itcarter wrote:and its bout time i made a cannon thats not ghetto.
- jk)If you take an experienced member, they are unlikely to make a double chamber cannon.
Regulated CO<sub>2</sub> is indeed a nice option, but it will depend on chamber size. A large chamber at high pressures will use up CO2 quite quickly, so be a bit sparing on how much you use.
