(Update) My Second Spud/Airgun (M4 Carbine style)

This is the second and most proud airgun I have made. The air chamber is made of galvanized steel and the interchangable barrels are PVC. I used a
Orbit brand sprinkler valve and a precision air trigger. I charge this bad boy up to 120 PSI which is enough power to shoot a jellybean through several pieces of cardboard. Please leave comments (positive preferrably but if it's an an improvment, go ahead and tell me) ,also please vote in my poll, and I hope you enjoy these pictures

Cmon, with a setup easily capable of 150+ (limited by the sprinkler valve), I wanna see some nice damage pics. Very nice. are the barrels half and one inch?

By the way, how much PSI do you think the valve can handle?

Those valves are typically rated to 120 psi, so go above at your own risk. However, if you replaced that valve with, say, a qev, you could take it to 150 +. Nice gun, by the way! Good job on that sprinkler valve! Point of interest: blowguns have been tested past 300 psi, so you shouldn't have to worry about it if you implement it in a future high pressure gun.

Hey, thanks a lot man, instead of pressuring to 80PSI, I will probably pressurize it to 100-110PSI.

Wow, nice gun! The only question I have is what size pipe is that chamber?
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:52 pm
by Sergeant Dotson
The chamber is 2 inches in diameter.

Oh, it looked a little bit bigger in the picture. I really like this gun, it's simple, but I'll bet it has plenty of power

Nice gun ...............It kinda looks like mine, a little..........Mines a bit different ................Its a nice simple design but that thing must be heavy...Thats what was wrong with mine,so I used lighter weight materials......Mine is still heavy but not like it was.....
Good Job :salute:

One full stop is quite enough per sentence nivekatoz
Is that drop down tube a burst fire mag or is it just a handle?
