ok im not into paintballing or airsofting but i do like shooting stuff and what better than to add a mortar to my colection lol. but anyways, some of my friends do i was thinking of making the mortars for their squads for when they go into battle. they would ithor be co2 presorized to like 500 ish psi in a 3/4" steel chamber and a 2" barrel to load tonz of bb's down. or a 18-20 pumb from a bike pumb one. i dono tell me what you think is better and ill make one soon no rush when its done though ill be posting them up.

how the hell do you get 500 ish psi from a bike pump, why would you use 3/4 pipe for the chamber when your barrel is 2 inches, and one last thing if you want people to fell the bbs your going to need a device (shell) which explodes on impack.

At the Home Depot where I live they sell gas regulators, you could probably use one of them for a co2 cannon. I am Currently in production of a "mortar" I'm making it a 4" coaxial with a 1.5" barrel, and a homemade piston valve. I still need to think out the breech loading system though, because one of those is almost essential.

burst discers are cheap.

Make an o/u one and put it on a stand. They shoot bb's plenty far- ask the birds on my street.
