SEMI AUTO

Deemed the "Slider" gun in reference to it's key part, the exhaust valve.

VIDEO FOUND HERE

Basically it is a fancy barrel sealing tee valve. The exhaust valve used is a homemade version of McMaster part number 4622K57. In the forward position, the input holes are connected with holes going to the chamber. In the back position, the input holes are isolated and the holes going to the chamber are exhausted to atmosphere. That means input flow is cut off in the same motion that exhaust the pilot chamber. The piston has a built in one way valve for a quick fill without harming performance. If I had a high flow air source available I could get up to .25" input flow, but currently flow is limited by the quick connect fitting. The stock can be pushed into the chamber when the gun is not in use, and I tried my best to give it a fancy paintjob. (3 days ago, waiting 7 days is impossible). I can get about 2 shots off per second. Faster ROF could probably be obtained with an electric 3 way valve instead of the slide valve, but I wanted to stay away from electronics.

Anyway, of course I needed a loading system to keep up with the gun. I decided to use paintballs because they are cheap and fit with the scale of the gun. Seems to work fine. I find paint in there sometimes, but I think it is from the 3 year old paintballs, not a problem with the loading.

Currently I just use a clip, but I am planning on getting a hopper to work.

Sorry, no exact plans. It would take a lot of time and be very difficult for anyone to do without a lathe, but if you have specific questions I can help you out. As for the parts it is pretty much all off the shelf pvc (some modified) except for some PVC rod, a couple springs, some screws, and various rubber sealing parts. Edit, and yes where the extendable stock comes out is the chamber. If I forget to extend it before pressurizing the gun it will kindly remind me by slamming into my gut.

Below is a new animation that includes the bolt and a schematic of the slide valve. They can also be purchased at McMaster, and there are often 1/8" versions on ebay.

Each green tic is .25". Light blue is 1" sch40, red is .5" sch40. Purple is modified 3/4" sch40. Dark blue is PVC rod. Grey dots are holes. Brown are screws. Black dots are o-rings.

you should be able to see how it works from the diagram, and if you need plans for this you shouldnt be building it, espesially since you need a lathe to do it, custom machined parts can blow out on you if you dont know what you're doing

No, I'm just wondering what size pipe/pvc rod he used there. I know what I'm doing, I'm just asking the size of the green piece in the animated diagram of the system.

The bolt is 3/4" CTS CPVC, the tee is 3/4" CTS CPVC, the outermost tube on the loading mechanism is 1" sdr21 I believe, and the threaded fitting that is in the back of it is a machined down 1" NPT x spigot adaptor. Every thing else is just random parts machined down to act like bushings. Whatever I could find to fit. Oh and the spring is from an orbit watermaster sprinkler valve.

Hope that helps
