I'm building another coaxial, This ones gunna be real small and light. All I have to do is glue it together which I will probably finish tomorrow, It's about 50cm long with a PN18 40cm 25mm chamber, PN18 40cm 15mm barrel and 1/2 inch ball valve as the pilot. The piston is a 15mm coupler sanded a bit and filled with hot glue, It has a neoprene sealing face and some neoprene curled into a cylinder on the back as the bumper. The cap has an elbow tire valve off a wheelbarrow epoxied into it and inside has some stacked neoprene for the pistons bumper to hit. The C:B ratio is about 0.7:1 so should be quick to fill but still do some damage.
I'm also changing my old 50x15 piston gun, its ratio was 5.5:1 so it wasted a lot of air. I'm chopping it at the reducer and chucking a long 25mm barrel on instead, should be a lot quicker to pump and more efficient.

Finished Just need to paint them, They both seal at low pressure and Ive shot them both at 20PSI so far

Yes very nice Watto cant wait to see some damage pics to come along with it.
Also when are you starting your new GB gun? or havnt you found the pipe that fits a GB nicely yet?
Still will be cool once you finish it and get some damage pics on here.

Make sure those bell reducers arent DWV
Other than that and the primer stains nice guns.
I like them a lot
You have just inspired me to go make my own full sized coax as the only coax i have ever made was a mini.

Dun worry man they dont even sell DWV where I got this stuff, You can spot DWV reducers easy cos theyre a bit different colour and are paper thin, the reason I use bell reducers, is because they seem to be easier to find than reducing bushings. All the stuff on all my guns is PN18 which is heaps stronger than SCH40 closer to SCH80, although PN18 reffers to 18 bar not the PVC wall thickness like SCH.
I lost the brush for the primer

that explains the stains but I'll paint them nice and black, put this strong as green laser on the small one then put them in the pneumatic showcase 8)
