I have done up some plans for an airsoft gun tell me what you think. I need some 6mm ID aloy tube dose anyone know where to get that? The blue lines are pipes that conect everything.

sounds good u will need a hole in the piston though

Why? if i had the point the idea in the hole in the piston is just to make it semi auto...

For a barrel, buy a airsoft tightbore. You'll get good performance with those. It'd be around $30 for a 650mm long by 6.03mm ID one.

I am in AU so I can't get airsoft barrels. :'( BTW I have know idea how to make the realode system I was thinking semi auto or bolt action any help will be of grate thanks.

Look at JSR's post on this thread

I have done up a bolt action with mag to put in my gun what do you think?

Edit; I can't seem to get my googlesketchup file in here how do I do that?

You're going to need a regulator between your primary air tank and your slide valve, but besides that your design looks great. Very similar to the inline setup on my inline paintball semi. If you scroll through my thread you'll see the evolution of my loading mech, you should be able to scale them down to airsoft caliber pretty easily

Why do I need a regulator? I am only going to use 115 pli cus my air compresor can't go any more.

Will the gun be constantly hooked up to the compressor? If not, then you'll need a regulator on the gun otherwise every shot will become weaker and weaker as your tank pressure drops

Ok that makes sens. Will this regulator do? BTW can I us a regulator to pump my air tank to say 500psi or more with a commpresr that only dose 100psi? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Astro-Pneuma ... 2c650c4948

Lockednloaded makes a good point, however if you don't want to use a regulator you can compensature by having a large main chamber and small firing chamber. If this is for airsoft then with such an efficient valve you don't need a lot of air for good performance, especially with a long barrel.

Hey mate im also from au. If you've completed this gun or have any further plans let me know cause i need a little help, cheers.
