Cld u tell me y all ths txt lnguge is ncssry?
Cld u also tell me y the hell this is in this section, and why the double post was necessary within 1 minute of your opening post?
And then the triple posts, within 3 minutes of each other?
There is a button called EDIT for a reason - to prevent you needing to double post.
There is no way that a homemade BB gun will be anywhere near as accurate as a proper air rifle - even the poor one you have ATM, and you'd be lucky to get very much power either.
You'd also be lucky to have all the bits for a BBMG immediately.
Novacastrian: How about use whatever the heck you can get your hands on?

...I'm sorry, but that made my year.

How about a basic spudgun to start with...?
I'm assuming this is copper pipe and thats a ball valve for domestic plumbing (so it will fit copper pipes). I'm also assuming that the ball valve is a common compression fitting one...
2 bits of pipe.
1 ball valve.
1 filling valve from a bicycle tyre.
1 compression fitting (straight or angled).
1 washer (small enough to fit just inside the screw cap of the compression fitting and with a hole large enough for the bike valve stem)
Attach the two bits of pipe to the ball valve.
Attach the compression fitting to the end of one of those pipes.
Cut out the bike valve so theres a small circle of rubber left the size of the washer.
Slip the washer over the bike valve stem.
Put the compression nut over that so the stem pokes through.
Tighten compression nut onto the fitting. Do NOT include the olive.
'Kay. All done.
The rubber circle on the end of the bike valve will press against the washer as you fill it up and stop air escaping or the valve flying out.
Once you've pumped it up pull the ball valve and it'll fire.

You make robots? I thought someone with that mental calibre would have enough sense to make their posts somewhat legible. And to notice that it was in the wrong section. And to not double/triple post.
Topic moved to Pneumatic Cannon Discussion.

Off topic: Where are you from ness644?
I'm only asking because of the good manors, but bad/broken english.
I'm guessing Nigeria.
