This is my new copper pneumatic, it uses a 1/2" Quick-Exhaust valve acctuated by a 1/2" Ballvalve. I bent the ballvalve so it acts like a trigger.
Chamber: 550mm x 22mm
Barrel: 600mm x 22mm
Valve: 1/2" Quick Exhaust Valve
Volocity:156m/s
Here are some pictures:
The whole thing, only 75cm long.
This gun was inspired by Brian the brains sawn-off shotgun, its not as good but close enough .
It is a kind of longer thiner (shiny) version.

Pics.


I turned down the threads of a 1/4" Dissconnect fitting on my inprovised lathe (put it in a drill chuck) then slid it in some bent 15mm pipe and soldered it in there.

haha now your just plain copying btbs guns!

Maybe I got slight inspiration from them,

pfft "slight"? its called copying, get with the program man, btw nice gun!

Thanks, TBH the reason I acctualy made this was I was my other one is too powerful for back yard use.
I acctually made the back bit like brains cos thats what I had, that whole gun only cost £2.75 as I only needed to buy one bit the rest I had in my garage.

Well..First of all...I've never used a QEV...

Second..I woul'dn't call a 75 cm gun...sawed off..

Third...I ....don't know..okay??!@?

hehehe...it's not a copy.Barrel and chamber are closer together in my designs.I hate that wide open look.
I like compact.I would "elbow" the chamber back up.
Or rent a pipebender to get a nice flowing design...

Do you mean like my other gun with the 2 45s?

exactly. Although I modified ome of the fittings to get the same effect.
I used a 28-22-28 mm Tee to connect the chamber to the 28-28-28- tee the valve is in.
I filed the 22 threads off until I could slip a 28 mm compression ring over it.Used a lot of teflon to make the ring seal over the partially filed threads.
Pretty tricky, because I had almost no room to apply the teflon, once the "cap"and ring were on the 22mm side of the Tee.
I connected the two Tee's INTO each other for a compact look.
That was the major factor for the sawed off look.
I did the same thing with a 22-28 reducer, wich holds the barrel.I filed it until it could fit a compression ring (28mm) over it.
This leaves you with the original 22 mm "inlet"of the reducer to hammer in a piece of 22mm, with a compression ring already on it, as your barrel port.
So no I have a 22 mm port, 28 mm Tee as a piston housing, and a 28 mm barrel.

Well...if you want to copy it...you now know how to..

Well in stead I am going to get a length on 35mm copper for the chamber so it can be alot shorter.
18cm instead of 55cm.

Here is what what it should look like:

it looks way better if you do that.

I'd agree with crowley on that one.

Where did you get the QEV?

UK based so probly wont ship to US

Naa mate..... AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE, OI OI OI.

Heres the pics of my new update, I took brian the brains advice from another thread to make it more compact:







And this is the sight down the barrel, I added a front sight to add to the shot gun look.
