Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 8:26 am
Hello all. i'am new to the forums here i have been building guns for about 3 years on and off... mostly all combustion type guns. Here is the most recent gun i have built. and over under type air gun.
It is built using sch 40 for both barrel and air chamber. The barrel is 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 4ft long. the air chamber is 2 inch in diameter and 4ft 6inch long. Has the schrader valve @ the end to add the air. Also put a psi guage to get air pressure reading. The valve is a basic lawn genie 1 1/2 inch that i bought @ home depot for like 23.00 works awesome. never had any problems with that. it runs off the contol box that holds the three 9v batteries. has a seris of three switches. a toggle and two button switches. its pretty powerful. i have had it up to 110 psi and shot a pvc rocket thru a old computer (had a thick metal casing around it) and went tru the outer casing and in the hard drive. ***PUFF*** - Content removed.
