I have taken my shotgun and slammed a bigger chamber on it, now it has a LOT of power. I am having loads of fun with it.

I have a video of it shooting a wad of toilet paper across my room. The air from my shotgun even moved the blanket. I will put a video of it destroying an apple later.

I shot an empty can of beans(with an apple in it) with four thowing spikes. The apple got ripped apart.I am uploading the video, its good!

*Our houses are made of bricks, we don't have spare plywood lying around. It is expensive too.

Nice. But If I were you, I would add a longer barrel on rather than a larger chamber; it will yield much greater power.

Also, I think I said this in another thread, but you can just get a shorter pipe nipple to make the chamber and barrel closer together.

anyways, great job on the build.

I think that is the apple rolling in the backround. I you listen to it with sound you can hear it firing nicely. I was thinking about a new barrel but then it wouldn't be a sawn off. I have a longer one, all I need is a copper crimp ring.
They don't stock shorter nipples where I get my hardwere from. I will add more. They palmers regulator for the paintball guns are very expensive, I might not be able to get a regulator. There are other goodies on the way though.
