Real nice Bipod...
That gun reminds me of the special forces commercial were the guys are sitting with weeds on them, observing the troops,

THat is the kind ofgun they would have.

I agree with ben, it is very proffesional looking and would be sweet with laser guidance

Well, as you may know, I do agree with the nuts above me here, but I highly advise you to make the air flow go directly to the barrel, DO NOT MAKE IT GO TO THROUGH THE STOCK!!! It can blow your arm off as well decreasing the air flow.

I agree with the syco kilaa above me, I would NOT make the air flow throuch the stock, it is dangerouse and restricks flow, but i am a nut, lol


:x transforming into a nut :x :evil: :twisted: :shock: ...

thats just a joke, not stepping on any toes

the stock is the chamber, how can it blow? it is a bad idea when he is using a tennis-ball barrel...

yeh, if the valve was b4 the stock it would be bad but with the stock being the chamber too it couldnt hurt could it?

that stock is awesome
i also agree with the people above with the air running through the stock
believe me i know something about exploding fixtures
otherwise, nice cannon
it looks awesome with the bipod
good job, bro

you want to be careful when you create a lead from the pressure chamber to the barrel via a stock, or something that you will have on your body when you fire it. if you absolutely have to, you want to have the fewest number of bends in the pipe, because it will cause stress on the piping, and can possibly explode, wear out or leak over time. although very nice gun.... i really need to pick up some sch80 sometime.

air is like a liquid so any decreases in the width of the chamber or any turns slows down the flow, and it does create an explosive inviroment so i sugest that you stop the air from flowing through the stock.

You guys are getting way too technical now, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference whether the air goes through the stock or not performance wise. Check it on a chrony...

It would be dangerous if it wasn't pressure rated. But if you're pumping less pressure into the gun than the pipe is rated for there won't be a problem.

Nice gun, looks fairly easy to hold and the different barrels are sweet too, I like interchangeability. =) Can't really see what you are using as a valve though. Overall nice gun, but you may want to decrease the number of elbows between the chamber and barrel from 4 to 2, will give you a more responsive burst of air when using your bigger barrels, depending of course on what your valve is.

andeh - EVERY elbow or corner in the tubing will decrease the overall power of the gun. The elbows cause turbulence, and some of the air will end up doing negative work on the rest of the air coming through the tubes, analogous to resistance in an electrical circuit, and as Flinchy mentioned it also increases the stress on the joints. The effect is noticed less at high pressure, but if you're below 50psi you may notice some losses. Use high pressure in there and it'll be fine, and in the future keep it in mind to have the minimal elbows/joints possible.
