150 bar 15mm caliber piston valve beast

Hi I've made a very powerful pneumatic gun based on a piston valve. It looks ugly but it's a prototype yet, because i don't have enough money and needed tools now to finish it. But it still shoots. Tested with paintballs and 15mm steel balls(barrels are exchangeable). I've been able to launch the pa...

Re: My first hybrid gun

Finally, here it is: [youtube]https://youtu.be/pKgZIxwvpSA[/youtube] Sorry, not as much as i wanted to do. I prepared different targets and wanted to do at least 5 shots, but neighbour complained and promised to call police if i won't stop shooting. Maybe i will make a part 2 later on. For this purp...

Re: My first hybrid gun

Well done! Looks like a good, strong hybrid cannon. I see your spark plug sits outside the main chamber area and it still works good. That's good to see. I was wondering if it had to be way inside the chamber area but I guess its fine sitting outside. That's a relief for me regarding my own future ...

Re: My first hybrid gun

Thank you! Well, i will probably stick with my powerful ignitor, at least in this gun. Maybe it isn't necesery, but it gives me more confidence. Also i've never seen such piezo like on your picture. If i decide to use it, i probably need to order it from China. Shipping will take a lot of time and i...

Re: My first hybrid gun.

Here is a better picture of the gun and pictures of the ignition setup. Now the union has a piece of thread welded on for the barrel attachment, but this picture was made before.

Specs: Chamber – 44cm of 2" steel pipe with welded in threaded fitting for a sparkplug. Walls are 3mm thick. Barrels – 100cm 50mm barrel...

Re: Want to build my first hybrid

Chamber is steel with about 2.5mm wall thickness. Earlier on i made an air rifle with 1/2" diameter and 18" long steel chamber(approximately the same wall thickness) that i've been pumping up to over 200 bar and it holds absolutely fine. In case with my hybrid, HGDT predicts maximum pressure of 100 ...

Re: Want to build my first hybrid

Here is the chamber that i want to use. 19.2 inches long, 2" diameter, 60.3 in³ volume. I think it's gonna be a mighty cannon. HGDT expects 722 ft/s with 3.9 oz 1.25" projectile(steel ball) at 7x mix.

Re: Want to build my first hybrid

Maybe it is every where like that, i don't know. Anyway, the question is: will the proportions for propane that i read in hybrid fueling thread...

Want to build my first hybrid

For example if i want 10x atmospheric mix how much air and propane i have to add? Also i want to know why nobody (at least i did not s...
