Yes this thing looks stupid and not very formidable,but this thing surprised me alot from the first shot a a nice fitting tatter it sent it flying about 80meters and the chamber smacked me in the mouth and gave me a nice lump.

Its quiet to shoot and doesnt take very long to fill with a pump which is good as its portable.The C:B is about .5:1 and i have fired it at 150psi.It is all class 18 construction apart from the barrel which is class 12 both chamber and barrel are 50mm diametre.The valve is a 25mm modded sprinkler which for some unknown reason leaks a little out the sealing face.

Max Velocity:800fps+

Why does the barrel look so wavy? I am starting to sway against sprinkler valves because pistons are so much better. Good job overall.

Couldn't cost that much to make, just do it man, and make the porting threaded so you can use it on other stuff to, see where this is goin?

I think sprinkler valves are very good for triggering the piston valves. But ot to use as a main valve.

BTW, nice gun. Try to shoot flour with it. See how far you can get. What pressure do you use ?

POS-I think i might test the flour!That spunds fun a nice cloud but after it stops raining.Usualy at 120-130psi.

jrrdw-I do actualy have a smaller barrel for it which i didnt thing about posting its 20mm PB barrel and is 60cm long it is also good for marbles.

I'm going to get some pictures of the cool ammo i made for it up soon and the other barrel.

I love that gun, a nice pistol style. Have you thought about maybe putting a detachable stock on it?
