C19O's Coaxial Marble Gun

[c19o]

Here is my coaxial marble gun. I used 1/2" copper for the barrel and 2" sch40 for the chamber. I might replace the ball valve with a sprinkler valve soon though, this ball valve was all i had at the time.




Also here's the some pics of the piston, the bumper, and inside the gun.

Front of the piston


Back of the Piston - I had to use the piece of pipe so the piston would bump into the bumper instead of the male adapter


Inside the gun


Bumper - Its not very elegant, but it works!

Nice, how did you connect the copper to the PVC?

[c19o]

I used a 1/2" to 3/4" reducer then hooked that to a 3/4 male adapter, that to a 3/4" to 1" reducer, then the 1" reducer to a 1 and 1/2" reducer, and that to a coupling. I made a mistake in my first post, my chamber is 1 and 1/2" not 2".

Thanks, i'm thinking of doing something similar to this.

Nice. Any details on the valve? Piston, diaphragm?

[c19o]

i used a coupler for the body of the piston and a disk of 3/16" hard neoprene
off of mcmaster for the sealing end. used a sander the grind the coupler down. I will post a pic of the piston and inside the gun in a few minutes. It's probably be a 1/4" coupler for the piston , i don't know cause i ground away the writing on it.

i just added pics of the piston, bumper, and inside the gun to my first post.

i have been wanting to make a piston operated gun for a while but i dont know how to get there air out to have the piston come back and by the way really nice gun

[c19o]

dude u just use a ball valve, sprinkler valve, blowgun, just any kind of valve to get the air behind the piston out.
