ive almost finished my first air rifle that i'am going to post, all i got to do is paint it and then get some pictures of the gun and some damage pictures.
For my next project i was hoping to be able to build a pistol that uses a spring that when pulled back and let go compresses just enough air for a single shot is this possible to do?? |

| It's possible, but compared to the power potential of even the simplest pneumatic launcher, it's not worth the effort in my opinion. |

| so you dont think that you would get much power out of this. Dont slug guns work of kind of the same principal. |

They do, but they use massive springs and heavily engineered mechanisms that require expertise to replicate, and even so the most powerful spring piston guns don't go above 40 ft/lbs of muzzle energy, while some commercial pneumatic rifles will do over 10 times that amount.
In short, if it's power you want, go pneumatic. |

i agree its not worth the effort, you shoud just go and buy a cheap bb gun and make a different project, but if you have your heart set on spring power then i suggest you go to nerf haven and check this out http://nerfhaven.com/homemade/boltsniper_far/ then get yourself on the forum and check out some more stuf in the finished section  |

i cant buy a bb gun its illegal in Aus  oh well, that FAR dosent look to bad i might try something like that one day but for now i might just have to stick to a good old pneumatic.
edit*ok ive got a new idea now lol when on wiki i seen a BB gun that ran on those small soda co2 canisters is there any way to use them in a pistol/rifle?? |

Buy a CO2 tire inflator and you can make a full auto machine pistol  <--- as made by a fellow Aussie |

not bad not bad would those co2 canisters work with a normal pneumatic rifle?, if so how long do you reckon a single shot would last? ohhh i love that ADR-50 i reckon i could do with something like that  |
