Single-pump handgun

New design and prototype of the single-pump handgun, the "Plink .25". It shoots 6.35 mm steel bb's, because I'm interested in reusing ammunition. There is no point in wasting lead, (more expensive), on this weapon designed for plinking, simply. The pre-compression pressure is 6X and it can go throug...

Re: Single pumping hybrid, "Strong Boy"

Here some photos of the "monster" that works very well! :D It is unfortunate that it only compresses at 3 bar because the compression cylinder that I used has an internal diameter of 26 mm, which is a lot to generate without any lever, more pressure. What's nice is that you can shoot on repeat and i...

Re: Single pumping hybrid, "Strong Boy"

LBC, sistema carga bolillas acero .25 (2).png Upgrading the single-pump gun. I'm trying to build the drawing. It has associated to what is in the drawing, a loading system for 6.35 mm bb's to make it a repetition weapon 8-) I'm working on a rough prototype to test the concept. The goal is for it to...

Re: Hybrid pumped weapon project

Ok! we are "the prophets" (of loud, hole-making fun and mischief) :evil: It happens that if you don't hunt animals with these air guns, it's a boring and sterile hobby of death. Experimentation and shared learning is essential. For the rest, it is certain that if you increase the pre-compression pre...

Re: Hybrid pumped weapon project

I did a test at 11X with a 16g .22 pellet and three disks, as Jack suggested. He drilled into an old 1mm stainless steel military pan and the noise is quite loud. The pellet seems to have penetrated through, but it was useless to find traces...The damage is in the first photo. Orificio acero inox. 1...

Re: How do you get consistent performance out of a "cheap" cannon?

CHEAP, UGLY AND FUNCTIONAL! :) There is a caveat in that "pretty is as pretty does", so when something is functional, there is a certain beauty in it regardless of its aesthetic attributes. If you're right. There is an aesthetic of the function, which is independent of the aesthetic itself, (easier...

Re: Hybrid pumped weapon project

Oh yeah !! it's the same... Keep in mind that your post you name here is my bible on this. I not only remember it, I have it complete in a word, on my pc and on a DVD... It is exactly the same as what you made, I only made it in the form of a weapon to be able to shoot and aim, with the air pump inc...

Re: Hybrid pumped weapon project

I can pierce 0,7 mm sheet steel That's quite impressive for lead pellets to be honest. Have you tried with more than two layers of foil? No, I'm just using the gun with two rupture discs. Surely you can break three, with a little more precompression load, I estimate with 10 - 11X. At present it is ...

Re: Great video testing spud gun failure/safety (ThebackyardScientist)

Watching a piece of 3" PVC hold until 1000psi+ makes me wonder what it would take to cause my aluminum cannon to burst. I'm starting to think 3.5X combustions just might not have the energy to cause that thing to come apart. Possibly it will never be destroyed, if you do not abuse the pressure in t...

Re: Hybrid pumped weapon project

The "cartridges" that includes the rupture disk, seal o'ring and the pellet is as in the drawing. In case of planning a repeating or semi-automatic weapon, with an ammunition magazine, it is necessary to build many.

Re: Hybrid pumped weapon project

Adapting this weapon to shoot with rupture disk. It gave me more power and regularity in the shots. I love plain old bursting records... I am using aluminized paper. I'm using two layers, which work fine for 9X of precompression that the hybrid has. The face that is made of paper itself is faced and...

Re: How do you get consistent performance out of a "cheap" cannon?

The "lost gas" method is what I use for my air pump guns and it works perfectly fine. Yes, it is true that it wastes a little gas but it makes everything more practical and faster to refuel. The trade-in is a practical thing for a little more butane in the process. Without hesitation, I accept the "...
