Will this type of loading work? i'm worried that it won't be airtight

a coupling slides over 3/4 cpvc to block a hole in which the paintball is loaded

i'll get a pic soon

If you have O-ring grooves it should work.

there's the pic, i thought i saw something like this on a gun called POS so i just wanted to make sure it works before i waste precious pipe

do those repair coupling things come in 3/4?

Hint Hint
"POS" means Piece Of Shit
get a 3/4" expantion coulpling. drill a hole big enough for your paintball in the inside part with the joint spread all the way out.

that looks pretty reliable saladtosser, thanks

spudstuff, quit trying to teach me what my momma taught me when i was 2 (the POS part, the other part is a good idea)

actually, i thought POS meant Poop On Scrotum gosh!!! LO fricken L!

sorry about the sarcasm

By the way... would i need a stopper to keep a paintball rolling out of 3/4 cpvc or is it a snug enough fit that you don't need one?

you might wanna use tape and superglue instead of hose clamps, as hose clamps are not perfectly round

As long as you have o-rings you shouldnt have a problem. Only difficult part would be making a groove for the o-ring considering that pvc is only so thick.
