Looks like you've got plenty of space to shoot. Much more than my small suburban backyard.
To echo everyone else, great job with the paint, and with everything else. It looks great. I have just two questions.
1. Is it hand held? I had a double chambered pneumatic once too, and I leaned it against the ground to fire. Just wondering if you do the same.
2. Are you thinking about putting a ball valve inbetween the chambers to allow for more than shot per fill? |

Yeah thanks man
1. Yes it is hand held but when I shoot anything out of the barrels with the extension pipes its to heavy and I do not have a barrel support as you can see, but I have done it with the sdr21 I got at tractor supply because its light. Yeah I lean mine against the ground too works well when I shoot watter because it kicks allot same with bb's.
2. Thats a very good idea and I do have two ball valves on my and could try that but I would need a third to block off either of the pilots to the sprinkler valves if I did that. Maybe later I will do that I just put it back together last night with the new back piece that has the correct fittings on it and it makes the whole gun shorter.
Also the paint has not flaked off just to let you guys no but it does get dinged up easily by the fittings connecting the pilots of the valves and the blow gun dings the chambers up too. |

Great job, explsvcookie257!
I'm starting on a Golf Gun myself and will probably use your design. Can you please give me the specs for your SDr21 barrel, as I'm unfamiliar with the term? How snug is the ball in the barrel? Do you need to ram/push it down to seat it?
Thanx in advance |

| Well I am totally ok with you or someone else using my desighn just if someone asks you were you got the idea you got to give me credit haha no really i do not care go ahead and use it but if you post it on here include my name or sumthing. Ok so you want the specs on the golf ball barre, well its sdr21 pipe which fits 1.5" pipe fittings its thin wall and rated to 200 psi, you can buy it at tractor supply for about $5 or $6. It comes in 10' lengths and can sometimes bend easily and is usually sleeved in 2" sch80 pipe which by the way is dark grey, and as for the fit a golf ball outside diameter is 1.68" and sdr21 inside diameter is 1.70" so yes it is a very good fit. |
