This is my Pneumatic BB Sniper, it fires various things, such as my favorite, a sharp pop rivet wrapped in tape, or split sinkers wrapped in tape, 2 BB's wrapped in tape, theres lots of things i fire. The Gun is basically a Blow gun, Attached to a 2" Chamber With End caps (all pressure rated) With tire valve popped in, PSI gauge attached, and a 90 degree brass elbow leading away towards the blow gun, and attached to the blow gun is another 90 degree elbow, both attached together using pressure rated pipe and nipples, and other bit and pieces.

The pic is fairly self explanatory, the barrel is approx 7.5mm ID, and fits nicely in the blowgun, some of the barrel is sleeved with 20mm pipe, heated up to slide over the outside of the blowgun. I Run this gun at around 90-120PSI.


The Barrel basically slides in and out of the blow gun for easy re-loading and it slides in 25mm cut off's attached to the chamber, need to glue them in place, but they are just taped for now.

Any Feedback, or constructive criticism is welcome, and also i know blowguns are not the best valves, and don't have very much flow, but still this gun has a lot of power.

Also give credit to Mr.Russ as he made his first and i just made my own version of his. :P

Just quickly made a bipod to for it, taped it together because I'm out of hot glue at the moment, but thought i would add these pics too. It comes of easy to, when its glued properly it can swivel, turn, tilt and can be detached quickly without have to slide it of.

Vids coming soon, one of me shooting an egg too :D

Heres a vid of me shooting an egg:

Nice gun. I had the exact same blowgun, before i tore it apart and made it a bit better.
Here is my modded one, was easy to make

Maybe you can make a similar one and integrate it into a stock. Except it would have to exhaust through the pvc barrel instead of into the air. It would be a bit of work but it would be very cool.


You wouldn't happen to be an Ausie?

Lol

Thanks, yeah its a pneumatic marble gun, but she is in pieces now
Yeah she was a good blowgun. The scope was from ebay, around $40 including shipping, its from china, but form ebay.com.au. Its a good quality brand and a good quality scope. Chaos and Experiment u2 have the same one as me, they recommended it to me :P

EDIT: Personally i would recommend iron sights. But they don't look as cool as a scope, but they are cheaper and more practical on a spudgun.

haha the vids are okay lol.

His chamber size is 2", just like mine.


You have to pump up after every shot, you can get about 2 powerful shots out of a tank. if you do one powerful shot you only have to pump up a few times instead of filling the whole chamber.
