Ohh Yah I know I need a longer barrel. I have another longer barrel but it didn't fit the ammo in it. It wasn't met to be too impressive :D Sice I am still working the kinks outa the gay union.

So DYI, what ever happened to your original plan to build the SCTBDC as a handheld cannon?
Personally, I blame clide, for alerting me that I could use a longer barrel on the 1.0 version. Before that, I had always heard that 2:1 was the best C:B ratio for pneumatics, and had never really thought much about it. Then I started testing on GGDT, and realised that I could still be gaining performance at a 12' long barrel... and the handheld design went downhill from there.

The funny thing is, now I'm trying to downscale and increase portability and ease of use. However, since I'm so impressed with what my big guns can do, I want the same power, but in a handheld package. This gets rather difficult.

Don't worry spudfarm, the handheld launcher is on its way.

The near-complete hybrid project at the moment will only be capable of 10x, nowhere near high enough to make a handheld size worth it in my opinion.

That wasnt amazing but it is what you would expect from 10psi.
100psi should yield much better results .
I think the barrel diameter is overkill for the chamber size but I guess it doesnt matter that much but atleast maker the brreo longer as DYI mentioned.

Why dont you add a reducing coupler to a smaller barrel-In diameter- for better results?
