Used to be, but couldn't get the parts at a reasonable price. Made a semi auto marble gun.

Your on a DIY forum full of revheads. Spudguns go hand in hand.

I made a pneumatic one with a half inch barrel and a combustion one out of a 24 ounce bottle with a 1/2 inch by 2 foot barrel.

 

[robin]

here is one i made no so long ago

the valve

modified reducer left standard one right

modified reducer fits nicely in the 2inch bit

please comment

the barrel is 11 ft long and it will go thro most things that get in its way

also my smaler one

i fire the smaler one at about 600 psi and the big one at about 240 psi as it take a long time to fill

I made one once out of a straight piece of PVC. It *usually* didnt work. I was running after a few buddies with it, and they were in my garage, one of them jumped behind a snowmobile, and one crouched in the fetal position and i blasted him with an ONION. He had about a 5" welt on his back and he wreaked of onion all weekend. I don't recommend shooting each other with them. And yes, the onion did bring some tears to his eyes.

[robin]

I have a 1" barrel pneumatic made out of PVC. It has the sprinkler valve system, so you can shoot it remotely if you get long enough wires.

I shortened the barrel because it looked really strange, now it is WAY louder. Has quite a bit of kick to it as well.
I don't go above 75-80 psi and I covered it in electrical tape to protect from U.V and hopefully help if it explodes.

 

[jr dragster T]

And how do you get like 600 PSI into that? Like nitrogen from a tank?

 

[robin]

i riped the compressor of the back of a fridge buy making a stage pump out of one i reached 1800psi if ur interested go onto spud files and look for my user you can see mt posts and lots of cannons ive made

i made a gun to take 100 bar and i can put a berings thro a 2x4 with ease
