Nice job, the trigger is pretty intuitive and the paint job looks good as well.

wow, i made a 1'' breech loading barrel that looks almost identical to yours that i eventually incorporated into a sniper design.

I also have the exact same co2 setup, gotta love the portability :D

anyways, great gun!

Great looks and construction!

At first I couldn't figure out where your piston was, then i read your post again, and it seems like you've got a good bit of dead space there.

other than that, it's great.

HOLY CRAP! that thing is big!

Too bad the sprinkler valves are so small for the size of the gun.
If you had piston valves on that sucker, I bet it would kick like a mule, and put soda cans through anything in it's way.

Actually, a wet paper towel will put holes in lots of things, as long as it's relatively close range. I put one through sheetrock once.

must have been a really flimsy toolbox though.

I'm ambidexterous, but since most guns are made for righties, I shoot right handed, even with a bow.

Also, since I didn't know what hand to write with as a child, my teachers assumed I was right handed, and made me write that way. So i write better with my right hand.

I've heard of particle accelerators before, Japan collaborated with the U.S. to make one of these if i remember correctly. The black holes have been mentioned before, but nothing ever came of it. The particle accelerator mentioned in the article seems to be enormous though, so I don't know if we sho...

I've seen this video on the television before. Using paintball guns when the people know they're being shot at is one thing. But these guys did this at night to random people from a car. I know that if these guys did this stuff to me and I didn't realize they were paintball guns i would have returne...

Simply awesome. Not only is the gun impressive, but the attention to details really puts this gun at a higher level.

Great work.

yeah, i've been having trouble finding a decent way to shoot them without losing them. I have quite a few open fields around here to shoot. But i have no way to find the golfballs afterwards.

When i get more time i'll make a suitable backstop for shooting off these badboys.

So you haven't tested it with co2? What pressure did you test it at? and what pressure does it regulate to? Can you adjust it?

You did a good job but i'd like to know a little more about what it can do.

Thanks. I have actually already ordered a golfball barrel from BCarms.
But i got tired of waiting for it to ship so i made this just to see how golfballs are as a projectile.

Needless to say i was quite impressed. :shock:

My first clouds.

So i've been getting my feet wet in the area of bbmg's (gotta start somewhere right?). I had some free time the other day, and i decided to make a 6mm ghetto cloud, out of a soda bottle and a pen tube. Even though it's a piece of crap, and wasn't very useful, the rate of fire impressed me quite a bi...
