How did you cut the asa threads for the CO2 tank? Or did you buy some sort of adaptor?

We spuders we do innovations, we don't just read a book copy a design and let machines finish the job, that's not fun. I have access to great machines, but in during the building of most of my guns i didn't even use electricity. The gun is good but there really doesn't have any thing special that makes people feel "oh that's a really great idea" and that's the problem that some franch gun has here: impressive machine work but take a close look and there is nothing really innovative. So i would say:"nice build, but next time i'd like to see some brain work instead of machine work

."
With all my respect, cheers
Unless you have a CNC machine you do all of the work, the maths angles setting up etc all take quite a long time to prepare. machines are not just set up to do every single job you have to manually change the parts for different speeds. All the machine adds is accuracy and speed in cutting of parts, so next time you question someone have a think.
Also excelent (hammer valve?) keep up the good work!

Most cnc machines have variable speeds so there is no need for changing gears. (changing parts for different speeds)

Very nicely done Nenette, excellent craftsmanship. 8)
Noticed you have a pressure gauge on what appears to be a co2 tank...are you using compressed air to power? What pressure?
Have you done any shot strings yet?
Thanks.
