I have not tested my design yet. If I get it built and working, I'll post it. Several others have made working magazines for semi auto combustion launchers.

If you're looking for just a magazine for a normal combustion, sgort made (doesn't sell) a neat little setup using a 1-1/2" tee and 1-1/2" SDR-21 barrel for his blue flame. You can see it in use towards the end of this video.

I too have thought about several ways to do this. I don't know if it would be possible to use pvc to make it. And since I don't have a welder I don't know when I would have a chance to use it. I think the best way would be to have an outer pipe that could slide back and forth over the barrel to cover where the 'round' is inserted. I know with a 2" barrel 2 1/2 works well. I will try and sketch up some designs and put them up.
