Here is my new and first piston BB coax made with 15mm copper and some other parts.
I struggled to get this to work but finally wrapped some tape around the piston.
Strangly enough you can fill it up from the barrel aswell
Any tips welcome.
Here are the pics.
There!

Now that's cool.How does it go with sinkers or similar heavy shot?If you've used ammo like that.
I've got to make myself a small bore pneumatic sometime

nice simple and a bit of power

I'll post it tomorrow after more tests (400 psi).
You can have a sneak peak I suppose..I still need to cast the aluminum foregrip, grip, bipod etc..

Piston and barrel support, with chamber and barrel in background..

At the moment im using around 100 psi and its 6mm barrel.
but did you see that shock pump i put on?
I cant wait for some 300psi damage pics with a solid nylon piston

It's pretty devastating even with the low (300 psi) pressure..400 should be monstrous.
It's been punching nice holes in everything I've thrown at it, any requests for targets?
