This is my latest creation. I decided to make a piston valve using entirely out of poly pipe fittings. I think the gun itself turned out quite well. I wanted to make something that could be pulled apart and stuck into a bag, but I also wanted to be able to change the barrel/chamber of the gun. It's just about finished. I had a blowgun actuating it and it worked quite well, but I want to add a modded sprinker valve and add a small stock.
Anyway, enjoy

(It still needs a bit of a clean up...)

Looks really good mitchza. The new barrel(hopefully longer) will improve performance a lot. What pressures do you run it at?

Cheers alot guys. I plan to run it at 200+ psi so it should have a fair bit of kick. I've got a 1m barrel that I'll use marbles for. I'm happy with it

50psi in a gun like that? That's child's play

But as far as actual paintball goes, 50psi should get me velocities close to a paintball gun.

500psi?! Damn... I didn't know this stuff was rated that high. I saw a sticker on a piece of poly (not the one I got) but it said only 1750kpa

I mean that's bloody terrible...
I've got a coax bb gun that uses a 600mm piece of 1/2'' poly, and it's holding perfectly at 300psi so I'm not sure
Cheers for all the comment's lad's
