Well after so many repairs being made to pistons in my minis having to grind the gun open with a dremel
(kinda pissin me off) and marker guns generally not working I have decided I am going to make a seviceable marker gun.

I like it, you should house it in an actual marker

I found the fitting I wanted 1/2'' female adapter.
unfortunatly the gun is a bit longer than the largest marker I could find.
And JSR epoxy is the best thing for strength but when the piston breaks the whole gun is useless if you can't fix it That is the reason why I made the gun serviceable that was probably aparent.

just let the schrader stick out of the back and the tip of the barrel out of the front.

Did you think about somthing for the 1/2 female adapter? That is widder than the marker.

Pretty nifty little unit there. I assume you'll fire by piloting through the schrader. What did you have in mind to trigger it?
