				Basic Paintball Rifle

				I saw this cannon on Burntlatke, and decided I wanted something similiar:
The chamber is made of 2" sch 40, and uses two couplings, one repair coupling, two 45* elbows, and two 3/4" male adapters.  The entire chamber is double walled, so it should hold up to lots of pressure. 
The barrel is 3/4" CPVC, and is 21.5" long.  My C:B ratio is around 3.125:1.  The barrel was 33.5" long, but I plugged the #'s into GGDT, and it said the barrel was unneccesarily long.  It cut the barrel down, and now the gun seems to honk when I fire it.  I'll search for a fix pretty soon. 
 
Here is a picture from the build stage: 
 
 
Here is the completed rifle:

				It's pretty comfortable, actually.  I like being able to look straight down the barrel.

				Simple, yet effective. Always nice. Have you cansitered putting a scope on it? Just a suggestion, I thought it would look nicer that way.

				Thanks for the replies, everyone. 
how'd u stick the blowgun tho?
 
I just used one hose clamp.  I had two, but the other one prevented the blowgun's lever from going all the way down. 
Have you cansitered putting a scope on it?
 
It isn't nearly accurate enough to require a scope, but it would look cool. 
try using a 1/3 ball valve
 
I'm using the blowgun because I don't think I could aim very accurately while twisting a ball valve.  Thanks for the suggestion, though.
I would eventually like to try a bolt-action barrel.  Using a ramrod to load every paintball is time consuming and gets old quick.

				Yea putting a bolt-action would make it SO cool.. 

  or a break-off barrell like a shotgun could be done..
