FAMAS

this is my original design for a combustion rifle based on the famas it has a burst disk breech load and a sleeved marble barel. the back part of the stock has being blocked off and is powered by a basic BBQ ignitor.

If the holes you drilled for the screws in the chamber are air tight you could pop a shrader in and use it as a pnuematic also. This is great! I love the paint color and how its not glossy. Its a very original design and looks great.

I wouldn't call it the best, Brian the brain, but it's definitely one of the better ones i've seen on this forum. Very clean, very innovative design.

And for the pneumatic version you should put the blow gun inside the handle like in some BBMG's

this gun is pretty powerful compared to how big the chamber is and wen i shoot it it seems to make a very loud sharp crack instead of the usal boom
