Does it get the power you expect or want from it, so long as it makes you happy it's the perfect gun, I'm not trying to give one of those crappy speeches but this is how I really look at it.

I like the shape of the gun. You should however put the prinkler valve much closer to the barrel, cause then you have a bigger chamber (stock included) but also much less dead space. The dead space is the space between the sprinkler valve and the actual place where the ammo enters the barrel and wait to be shot.

Like this, when you open the valve, shoot the gun, most of the pressure gets lost in the dead space.

Since your gun can be taken apart very easily, you should consider to put the valve closer to the ballre. It will improve performance a big deal.

Oh, an an othert hing, I am nog hacking on you. Everyone needs to learn. I did much much research before i started building, so I had a pretty good idea of what can go wrong and how to build a good gun. However, my first gun, the MB1 was not e succes. The second one, the MB2 is (man, i love that gun)

You can not expect when you made a gun, and post it here, that everyone likes it, and want to copy it. Like you said, it is just your second gun. You have a lot to learn, before you make a gun with which you can hit and destroy a target at a distance of 500 yards. But everyone has to start somewhere. When peolpe say your gun isn't good, they also tell you why it isn't. So next time you can improve your gun. Isn't that the purpuse of posting it ? Or do you just wane show off ?

hmmm.... just curious, did you use some kind of high temp grill paint on that? I painted a few of mine with it and scratched off just like yours. No other paint has ever done this.
