Dang, I had the same idea several months back. The video was laughable though, and "lethal"? WTF?

JSR, when it cycled too fast to feed, was it gravity-fed or spring?

Wow, this is really neat. I could definitely see this attached to the bottom of a air-soft gun as a grenade launcher.

From what I understand, the bbs are behind the burst disk? Would that not work for paintballs, as they would be crushed by the pressure?

That threaded endcap seems unnecessary, unless you intend to switch the schrader and gauge from gun to gun. Drill a hole slightly smaller than the schrader or gauge into overlapping PVC (2 layers), and try to screw the threaded side in. If the hole is too small, make it bigger. Common sense. PVC pri...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but...

Nice labels though! Also, "18+" ?! Most of the members here are not "18+" If I remember right.

The thing on the blow gun is probably the nozzle. Remove it.

Ok, this is not getting anyone anywhere, so just post the picture! You CAN upload ".doc"s, or you could just copy-paste the text (What is this, ascii art?!) If its a picture, you can upload that too.

Doh. For some reason I was thinking "C" was the hole at the bottom, below "B". Whoops. EDIT: Also, looking at the sleeve valve more, I don't think it is really plausible. I would use 1" sch40 pvc with 2 3/4" tees, plus 1 drilled hole for pilot exhaust. Not very compact, and inconvenient port placeme...

Wow, nice pics al-xg. A ROF of 7-9 bps is about average for a semi-auto with no mods or pneumatic assistance. I can pull a light-resistance trigger about 7-8 times a second (mime pulling a trigger while timing yourself). However, some markers have "walkable" triggers - ones that are so easy to actua...

Holy freaking no wai! When I saw this thread, I thought "yeah right, believe it when I see it". Dang, the DSR-1 is freaking sweet! How is even possible to machine something that mind-blowingly cool?

Nice find!

20$ aussie or 20$ USD? 1/2" QEVs from that site show up as $ 32.80 USD, so you got a great deal, probably somewhere else though.

I think I see where this is going, but I could be completely wrong. There are a lot of "professional" band tracks that I like, like from Radiohead, The Fray, ect., but I don't know the names of most of the songs. Here are some free music I sometimes listen to while on spudfiles. Good for potato carn...

My other option is using a modded QEV/blowgun type setup. Yeah, that is what I meant. I would rather not lose that performance, as I would have to mod the QEV by drilling a small hole in the shuttle and adding a return spring in it, slowing opening time slightly. Or... I could do your idea with a s...
