This is my coaxial piston rifle.
It is piloted by a 1" modified sprinkler valve.
I still need to install a fill valve via steel T.
Edit:Notice the sprinkler valve top that Dr gave me?
The guns till needs to cure and it should be ready tomorrow.
It has a 3/4"sch 40 barrel and a 1" sch 40 barrel.
Future upgrades: semi auto/burst loader.

very clean. did you use clear primer? where were you going to put the fill valve?

looks nice, can't wait to see some damage pics.
Where you get the modified cap for the sprinkler...? Isn't that something DR/ RobcSmall offer? (Wasn't aware they had started doing that)
Anyway, noice launcher. I just recently built a a handheld launcher (bit smaller) just because ease of use.

Dr gave it to me at the Vegas meet, and I have to say they are a beaut. I hope he starts offering for sale.pimpmann22 wrote:Where you get the modified cap for the sprinkler...? Isn't that something DR/ RobcSmall offer? (Wasn't aware they had started doing that)

And about this cannon, any details?

Nothing special. 1" chamber, 1/2" barrel, 1/4" QEV, blowgun trigger. Just stuff I had in my shop, and I wanted something a little less dangerous when my friends have the destructive urge. Would post it, but yeah nothing special. I might build something of merit in the future.
Anyways, the threads not about me, so everyone else refrain from responding to this post.

Sounds fun nonetheless.
But ya, A question for evryone should I make this semi auto and ditch interchangeable barrels?If so what barrel size and any good ideas on a ammo that would work well in a semi auto gun with a 1/2" or 3/4" sch 40 barrel?

something spherical is probably your best bet, likemarbles/ballbearings

Looks like a nice, fun gun to have. I think you should make it into a semi-auto marble/paintball gun. I definitely think semi-auto outweighs interchangeable barrels though.
really good quote/phrase here

Ya the upgrade will cost me about 10$, I still need to see if my piston seals fine before any mods happen.spud yeti wrote:Looks like a nice, fun gun to have. I think you should make it into a semi-auto marble/paintball gun. I definitely think semi-auto outweighs interchangeable barrels though.

I think you should go with a 3/4 in. barrel, but how do you plan on making it semi-automatic ?? (If you don't mind me asking)

Its quite simple, I'll post pics after its done.I just did testing at 125 psi and it was quite loud!
But I the piston doesn't seal for crap. so I'll make a couple more pistons and maybe even some with o-rings.
