nice job with the basic over under design. the only flaw i see is that it would take time to reload this sucker. an added breech would be really cool.

 I like this gun. But i have a remark, are you filling that up to 60+ psi each paintball shot?.... because thats reallllly anoying. I have one aswell but i rarely use that barrel because paintballs cause no damage. And at the price making a canon like this one, arent you better off buying a talon.

in New Zealand i can only find 6mm PBs and .68 caliber PBs which is 17mm, i need a barrel for a PB rifle im builing but i cant find 6mm pipe and they only stock 15mm or 20mm pipe where a .68 caliber is 17mm,
Can anyone help me?will a 20mm barrel be fine for .68 caliber PBs?

| actually, 3/4" SCH 120 PVC pipe is the best fit for paintballs, hands down; good luck finding it however

| with lots of wadding but thats no fun. I really hate that other countrys cant get stuff to make their guns. Think of all the other people that would have them and all the new ideas they would contribute.

| .68 cal works out be around 11/16ths of inch I believe , I cant find any of that super heavy schedule pipe anywhere near where I live. I want a piece so that I can make a horizontal loader for my tippy 98C. For a loading tube 3/4 inch will work fine but for a barrel it is a bit sloppy unless you can find some of that 120 schedule they mentioned.

| I found a really nice PB barrel in Bunnings the other day,it is 3/4 black abs pipe in the sprinkler section and it comes in meter threaded section(threaded each end NPT thread) i got a hold of some PB's the first time i has ever seen or felt them and i had trouble finding a good fitting pvc barrel so i used this stuff its not pressure rated or anything but it works great and it only going to be exposed to shot periods of a depleating pressure source.
