What are you having trouble with? This is the simplest pnuematic gun on this site. He tells you the pipe sizes and the lengths are about 8in for chamber and 16in for barrel. Come on you should be able to do this, I'm thirteen and finding the lengths took me less then 5 min. Using math no higher than pre-algebra.

If your having a problem on the different fittings here are my instructions:
1. get lead pipe
2. whack you head repeatedly

What are those metal clips you use on the front of the mini pneumatic to keep the barrel still and those two on your other cannon called?

Those look awsome.

What does that thing on the end of the barrel do other than look hardcore?

Also: what do you use to convert that 1.5" tank to the 0.5" valve?

Edit: and dont double post
Im sorry i know this post is old but dont use those valves.They are not that reliable. Go to a discount tire store and get a valve that thread's and has a locking nut on top.
