it should definitely come off, you might need some wrenches though. i am pretty sure theres an o-ring on it

Me likes.
If you can make a custom hangrip out of bondo or something, it would be uber-1337.
You might consider sawing the fitting off of the blowgun, then drilling it out. You'll probably notice the difference in preformance.

I saw it twice. That was enough for me.
I'll stick with my eureka

aight thanks for the help... how would i saw it off... with a hack saw or a band saw?

A hack saw should work fine.
If you have any vice grips try that before you cut it. It might come loose.

I think 3/4" sch 40 is good for paintballs and, correct me if i'm wrong, but i think so is 1/2" sdr21?

actually 3/4" CPVC is the best for paintball in my oppinion.

slightly bigger chamber would do good for power, methinks, but nice effort.

Nice gun. I like the tiny pressure gauge. Is sch80 3/4" pvc a good barrel for paintballs?

Very nice gun! I too like the mini gauge. Keep up the good work!
No, 3/4" Sch 40 fits paintballs horribly. 3/4" Sch 80 works fine, but I would reccomend 3/4" CPVC because it fits paintballs perfectly, and I'm not sure about 1/2" SDR 21.

Best fit for paintballs:
3/4" Sch 120>1/2" SDR 13.5>3/4" CPVC>3/4" Sch 80 PVC>3/4" Sch 40 PVC
Nice gun, a good basic one, but still strong enough to have fun with. Good job!

Good job on the gun, I like it. How high does that mini gauge go up to?
