copper guns

[Spudgun on Crack]

Just asking if you could post links to copper potato guns because i want to try to build a powerful rifle that can drive a marble or slug through 1/8in ply board from 100ft away. that looks tricked out with minimal parts.

I now have lots of copper fittings, tubing and every tool needed to work with them so it would be nice if i could see one that is already made.

Thanks

does anyone know where to get cheap copper?

i was in lowes, and i saw all the copper pipe, and then i saw the 2 inch copper... then i saw the price....

275 bucks for 10 feet!!!! GAHAHAHAAA

i guess its worth it for that cool copper shine............

Those are pneumatic copper guns, are there any combustion copper guns to date because thats what i want to build, i don't have a problem with air powered but i do not have solenoid valves, just these crappy ball valves which are kind of hard to open.

also can you use a bicycle tire valve like this one to pump air into a copper gun?????? Because i don't have an air compressor and i need to get one. So a bike pump will have to suffice for know.

Well i think i like copper better than pvc just because it feels more real,[/url]

Merged:

was watching a video on youtube and the guy said that you can fill a copper pipe gun with c02 is this possible? or nitrogen?

I have 2-20oz tanks and 3-9oz tanks not to mention a 88ci 4500psi nitro tank and a 49ci 3000psi tank.

if they can be charged this way do i need special valves because these tanks were made for paintball and i have many air lines for them.

if youre making a copper combustion do a pure oxygen/Mapp gas cannon. if youve got the infastructure, use it to the fullest extent (sure its not infastructure, but you get the point)........

[hi]

yes there are copper combustions, but only small ones due to cost.

you can use co2, but you need a regulator. strait from a tank and the thing would explode. i wouldnt take type M copper over 300 psi, but even that is pushing it.

I got some parts for a pneumatic copper potato gun which should be good but i ended up getting copper pipe coupling sections because they were small and precut i assumed they were the actual pipe but no they fit over the pipe so all the other fittings that i have won't fit the pipe. I was able to buy a 1/2 threaded ball valve, 2 male 1/2 inch adapters, 3/4in to 1/2in coupling and a 3/4in endcap for this but i do not have any pipe or propane for my torch so i have to go get that right now but this should lug things a few hundred feet!

The air storage tank is 2ft long of 3/4in pipe the barrel is 2ft of 1/2 inch pipe so it will be long and it will be a pain in the a$$ to fill with a bike pump!

here is a model of it.

Check it out!

I got the pipe for the potato gun and i am building it right now, i still need a tire valve and propane to solder it together but as for the rest i have it.

I posted pictures so you can take a look but as i said it still needs to be soldered together.

It is one big gun over 4ft long lol, i hope it shoots really far and fast.
