Nah ive made one before, and they use a crap load of BB's, and alot of air.

Single Shot MP5

Well i've been wanting to build a pneumatic single shot gun with a small pump attached. I know that when i put a bb barrel on my big pneumatic and pumped it just two times, from about 10ft it can shoot a airsoft bb through a playing card, fairly accurate. My ideas are simple, just mod a toy MP5 rifl...

i think it would be easyier to use quick disconect valves that they use on air compressors, and just drill and tap the right size hole into some Pressure rated pvc. but other then that its not that bad of an idea for people who wan poratbility.

Ummm thats a tough one. cutting it would increase flow, but you'd probs loose the check valve and what not, and possible leaks etc etc. but yes money does bite like a female doggy i'd go with the Shrader valve, because that way if you rebuild the gun/ take it apart etc, its not damaged, and also if ...
