Here's my new paintball rifle. It's made of 1.5" fittings and has a diaphragm made from a rubber pipe cap. The trigger is a garden hose. It shoots paintball insanely fast a couple hundred feet. The barrel is removable too.

| Nice. Might want to paint to cover primer stains and such. I cant belive you havent got pelted for the use of non-pressure rated fittings. Must say I love the use of the garden hose attachment. |

| really nice,how did you attach the garden hose thingy to the npt threaded adapter? can you buy the piece somewhere that screws into a hose thread and makes it so you can screw it into a regular pipe thread? |

Yes, paintballs are rolled down the barrel in order to load it.
Yes, as soon as I come home from vacation, it will be painted.
They barrel is about 21 inches, & the overall length of the gun is 26.5 inches.
I have a brass adapter that goes from male 3/4 NPT to male garden hose thread.
About the pressure, I really have no idea. There isn't a guage yet. Five pumps on my bike pump is all I do though.
*EDIT* Barrel is actually 21 inches, I don't know why I put 16 before. |

| Now that I'm home from vacation I want to paint this thing. Is it safe to use any old spraypaint on PVC or do I need something different? |

| "Those aren't pressure fittings... bla bla bla" Who cares, I don't pressurize this thing like crazy and it's held up under pressure so far. By the way what fittings aren't pressure rated? I am pretty new to this stuff. |

The fitting that comes out like a handle in front of the hose head isnt pressure rated. And the reason it's important to have pressure ratedfittings is safety man.
Ever put too much air in a baloon? |
