that looks very clean and solid!
Could you find any way to hide the tie-wraps? they bug the overall clean look a bit

ze chamber... it's too big !!
get a lenght of 1/2" pipe and use that as your chamber and the extinguisher as the reservoir/air tank

Very nice build! The chamber is a bit big so like POLAND_SPUD said, you could have it as an air reservoir instead, have a much smaller chamber and use a slide valve or similar to make the gun semi-auto.

Nice work, huge chamber as others have said, and the scope is completely unnecessary.

Thanks everyone for the positive respons:) yes the chamber is little big, I have been thinking on making it semi-automatic but I still haven't found a clean design for it but i'm planning on it:)

I don't think it's unnecessary when I can use it to hit small targets att 20 yards or even longer while using it:)

Well, considering the potential accuracy from a smoothbore is fairly limited, a set of iron sights would be adequate, and if you're set on having optics, a red dot would be perfect.
[hunting] I use iron sights on my .22lr out to 120m, and get a fair few bunnies at 70-80m. Optics aren't essential. Still waiting on a >100m shot on a fox.
[/hunting]
Good work on the optics mount too, it's a scope torch mount right?
And last time I checked hunting with a firearm isn't in the rules.

Is there any way to calculate how small chamber I can use before I'm loosing power? I want the chamber to be as small as possible so that the extinguisher last for as mant shots as possible:)

download GGDT it can help but if you go with a chamber same volume as your chamber you'll be fine.
