Yea, I tried. It's like it adds spaces to the URL when I try to post it for some reason. That other tag is for doing a named link. {url=whatever the url is}link title{/url} Tried it, still didn't work, but the URL I gave is still valid, just copy and paste until I can get that link to appear properl...

Hey Joerg, This latest Slingshot Rifle of yours made it onto Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/#!5799915/this-slingshot-of-mass-destruction-can-fire-six-20mm-steel-balls-at-the-same-time/ I've always liked your slingshot designs; I'm quite the slingshot enthusiast myself; Have been for years! I just thoug...

Wow, now that's kicking up an old thread, LoL! I hope your pump works well too. Be sure to post some info on it when it's all together. :) I have made some changes to my pump recently; For one thing, I don't use a schraeder chuck anymore; it's been replaced by a male quick-connect fitting. I also re...

That Crosman looks a little tacky though looking at the price I'm not surprised. Actually, it's a very well built, solid gun. nice wood stock, pretty heavy compared to others i've used, this definitely isn't like a cheap daisy airgun. It's more like a no-frills version of the Benjamin nitro piston ...

That's impressive for a single stroke pneumatic, I prefer the multi-stroke pneumatics personally. I recently received a Crosman Titan in .22 as a gift, it's a break barrel, and it's my first serious adult air rifle. What I like about it is it has a nitro piston instead of a coil spring, pushes .22 p...

That would make sense; Many paintball players prefer HPA or nitrogen, especially if they play in winter. Most paintball approved setups will reg down the pressure to the level of co2, so long as your launcher can handle those pressures (around 800 psi or so) it would work fine. This assumes you leav...

It's about time they deployed this thing. True the K11 was deployed first, but seems overly complicated, also, the XM has been in testing for years, as to work out all the bugs. Remember when they deployed the M16? all kinds of issues popped up in the field. I think they learned their lesson, and wa...

Hmm I wonder if it would be against the rules to cultivate the pumpkins in a length of your barrel material, so you end upwith perfectly formed "Pumpkin slugs...

I've also tried both a spring-actuated ball valve and a blowgun piloted QEV, guess what, the spring actuated ball valve was less accurate; it definitely throws off your aim a little. a well thought out design can help compensate, but only so much. This is why competition shooters prefer PCP airguns ...

nice job. It should be able to handle more pressure, assuming the solder joints are strong. Go with open sights, anything more is okerkill, imo. Blowgun pilot would be a good addition. Otherwise, a nice looking effort! Oh, you need to brace the barrel to the chamber where your right hand is in that ...

Mr Crowley, Why didn't you just make a muzzle brake out of another length of pipe and attach it to the end of your barrel, especially if it was only for looks? At least that way, if it broke, you could just make another one. if strength was a concern, you could've made it out of a more robust materi...

And it's not like I can't use the socket ever again, I just need to unscrew the bolt and take it off. I was actually thinking of putting a brass knob or a wooden piece on there eventually, the socket was going to be temporary, but it just sort of stuck. :D I find many of the users on spudfiles to be...

Actually, I don't remember off the top of my head what size the socket is. There's a brass bolt that goes through it, and a nut and washer secures it. I used an orphaned socket that just fit over the bolt. A scrap piece of copper (left over from cutting my first breech barrel) was drilled, the bolt ...

I used a coupling to form a breech in my last barrel, I cut a rather long breech opening on the .5" copper (M rated copper I believe) The darts worked great, but there's a trick to it; You need to use the streamlined "clip system" nerf darts, as all others are too tight. If you want a tighter fit in...

Get the cast brass/zinc plated ones, they take more pressure if I'm not mistaken. I would think that the zinc casting would not be as good under pressure. I use a 1/2" one on Thunderbess, the highest pressure I've ever personally fed to it was 300 PSI (before I added the reg) and it handles that no ...
