well, this project has been upgrading for quite a while, started out as a not too powerful over under gun....but has slowly increased into this.

barrel is 3/4" by 36", chamber is something like 20" by 3/4" and it uses a pneumatically modded valve.

pellet gun for comparison

I love the fact that its so small. If you want it to be more portable like you should add a pump to it and then put a psi gauge on it. Just an idea though.

lol. ive considered mounting a small bike pump on it, but i just use my big one for now

despite endless leaks on the valve when i get it to hold pressure for long periods it is very portable.

my local bike store also sells those co2 adaptors for the 12g containers. i might get one. but first i think ill get a small bike pump and mount it
