I have an idea for a hopper for you. Get a reducer from whatever size the ammo tee is to something like 6" PVC or something like that. You could angle the hopper over the gun itself towards you for a cool look and to keep it from sticking up in the air.

Thanks for the compliments

Adapting a normal hopper to it wasn't too hard. But due to mistakes in the loading mechanism it would blow the balls back up into the hopper and make quite a mess. Adding a few vent holes to the hopper connection could probably fix it, or remaking the loading mechanism to make it more like the animation would probably work well too.

I haven't played with the gun recently due to a lack of paint balls, but if I start playing with it again I'll try and get the hopper working.

What size PVC is the main body of the gun? I might make a bigger version of this using 1.5" PVC/potato shells or those little candles with the metal rim that fit perfectly in 1.5". I need a project that will take a while. I don't know if this would be possible but, make a horizontal clip with a really long spring. If your familiar with the P-90, you'll know what i mean.

atlantis, do you mean tea lights? i really doubt they'd shoot well, i'd think they'd just tumble in the air

Maybe thats what there called but yeah they would tumble. Candles would fill a clip nicely though. I can't think of any round objects with a decent weight for a semi-auto. Semi-Automatic Water Balloon Chucker?

The main body is 2" PVC.

As for larger round objects with a decent weight, golf balls or weighted tennis balls.

Does 1.5" SDR sleeve into 2" inch? If it did I would have no problem making a semi-auto GB gun. If I did this, should I upgrade the main body to 3" PVC? Or would 2" still work?

Thank You. If I can find 2" SCH 80 I'll make this, or if I find other working parts.
