Deus Ex Machina (deus ex mâchinâ) is a Latin phrase that when directly translated it means "god out of machine" the phrase is used to describe divine intervention of the gods or a supernatural change in fate
this is the name of my spud gun 
This is a very unique spud gun, while some of you may prefer some paddle gun or blow forward bolt gun over this, but with cartridges I have an advantage to shoot anything that fit ¾” pvc just like the good old pneumatics, rather than some gun that is for only a specific marble, paintballs, golf ball or other uniform ammo. Also just to let you know the chamber automatically repressurize thanks to my 3way diverting blowgun mod, I’ll write a How To on it later
EDIT: The How To has been posted here
What this brings to the table
First is a simple cartridge loading and ejection method during early production I made this video of the bolt action receiver,  http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c328/09731218/?action=view¤t=D SCF0890.flv please note that the bolt action works better than in the video after I adjusted it
Semi blow gun mod: an easy mod to make a blowgun divert flow 3ways http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/semi-blowgun-t6877.html
heres an older image that I was saving
another older image
as you can see I made a duct tape speed loader similar to the shell holders on shotguns fabricated like a duct tap wallet
here a picture with an extra large chamber attachment I made recently
current setup for my small chamber it comes with this awesome shape that is really comfortable when shooting, and an adjustable comb, and a red dot sight/ scope, not to mention the modded blow gun cased in wood for a realistic pistol grip feel, and a pivoting connection for ether the big or small chammber

thanks
a new pic with the detachable bipod I made today
we really need to mow the lawn
and fertilize it with that big dry spot in the foreground
also in the next few minutes I will finish and post my full demonstration video with various clips and stuff
edit: ding here it is
http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c328/09731218/?action=view¤t=m achinademomatrix1.flv
i'm tired and I haven't taken my pills  when I made this
all the shots were done at relitivly low presures
the size and quality is really high, it took me a hell of a long time to save and upload this to photobucket so PLEASE tell me if it is too big

Okay when you guys are voting I want you to remember the unique/cool aspects of the gun
Primary
The first bolt action ejecting cartridges
The first blowgun modifying method for 3way diverting
Secondary
Scope, and bipod not that specail
I haven’t seen anyone use the stock design like mine, it should be more common it’s very comfortable, and interchangeable with a large chamber for high power
also tell me why you might not like the gun so I can at least improve for my next cannon |

I like it a lot. You definitely need a How-To on the blowgun and the cartridge loader. The big drawback right now is it only fits 3 cartridges. I think I read in your other thread maybe that all you need is a different spring. I also think you should paint the handle black.
Other than that, excellent job. I'm looking forward to your next creation.
My next project is going to be a rifle for biathlon. If you don't now what that is, you shoot and cross-country ski. I'm going to make a bolt loader similar to this so I might need some advice. |

Thats real nice.
That big magazine looks awful next to your small chamber but it must work great!
Man that would be fun to shoot.
Nice video too! |

| Thank you keep it real and frank, this is the advice and crtizims that I want to hear (seriously), right now 3 shots is enough to have fun cause I can reload the 3 shots quickly as well, but If I put the magazine upside down and take out the spring just by removing 2 screws I can probely get 8 or more shots on gravity feed, but then its imposible to aim |

That gun is awesome! You should try making a shot shell with bbs, some time! That thing is really cool and I love the bolt action. Really good job!
