To begin with, PCguy hasn't posted any guns. What happens is people submit them to him, and he posts them in the official guns catagories, because he's the only one allowed to post there (he owns this site).

Are you talking about the bbmg strafer named the crow killer, or something else? I would suggest that for your first gun, you make a simple combustion cannon with a bbq ignitor and two screws for the ignition. Go to the spud wiki and read around for about an hour until you know all that you need to.

Iam guessing it is air powered :?: Because if it is you could use a blow gun mounted inside of a PVC handle like a trigger on a gun.

Are people getting dumber and dumber everyday? Of course its air powered. The valve is left unmodded and electronically activated with a momentary switch you can get at Radio Shack or any other electronic place.

FRICKIN SEARCH all of that info can be found on this site, or on other sites in the links page, i have no problem helping people, but only if they try to help themselves first, not just expect others to do the work for them.

You never asked if you could use a blowgun as a trigger you just asked what could I use as a trigger. Stop freaking PMSing

That would have been nice to know. If you did any research you'd find out that blowguns and ball valves are really the only way to exhaust something.

Now tell us if it's a piston gun or a sprinkler valve gun. Or if you want a sprinkler piloted piston.

He's not the one being rude. he's pointing out that with some research you would be able to find what you were looking for. But instead you think that we're going to spoonfeed you everything.

This isn't just some hobby where you can throw a couple parts together, you have to be systematic in your construction. If you can't be smart enough to do your own research, you shouldn't be building at all.

P.S. Periods are your friend. Put them between sentences so we can get a better idea of what you're talking about (aka above post).
