One more question, for the pump, should i use 1/2" or 3/4"copper?
Go for the 1/2", less than half the pumping effort compared to the 3/4" for a given pressure.
Thanks.

Yeah lol, i remember i read i think your comment on how spud guns accuracy is often comparable to a shotguns :P. And also i wanted to use my scope :D

maybe you could conceal the pump inside the body of a sniper?

Well, I'm actually going to conceal the pump and barrel and chamber in a PVC body, and then connect a another piece of sleeved PVC over it and connected to the pump to make it look more like a shotgun. I'm then going to make a silencer for it.

ahh cool but the silencer will have to be concealed or it wouldn't look like a shotgun... so i assume you will add the silencer on the end of the chamber?

Yeah probably. The silencer will be detachable.

There are such things as shotgun suppressors:

Hushpower in the UK even sell intergrally suppressed shotguns in both 0.410 and 12 gauge :D

Yeah, as JSR said, there are shotgun suppressors, and they often closely resemble spud gun suppressors because of the erratic nature of shotgun buckshot and spudgun bullets. They both have the perforated barrel to protect the baffles and/or wadding.
