the compressor is separate, in a back-pack as well as the battery. ive still got to build an arm rest and ill probly mount the compressor in that.

the compressor i got cost $5 its a little electric 12 volt compressor and since everything els on the gun is electric it fits in well. it pumps about 100psi but i put a 14 turn rc car motor on it ant now it pumps around 140 psi.

Alex get your measurements right. 1.5 cm is a little over half an inch. Anyways, that's an interesting gun. Could look a little cleaner though, try putting the messy stuff inside the wood.

update- ive mounte a laser in the frount of my gun witch is surprisingly accurate. im beginning work on the arm rest and ive mounted the pump to the back of the gun, the gun will be compleatly self containd except the battery. i need a 12v battery with more than 4ah to work that sprinkler valve efficantly. im also beginging work on a t.v. scope. im using an old vaccume tv tube i ripped out of an old sony camera. after fiddiling around with the wires i found it taked in an s-vidieo cablewitch most cameras have. so thetv- scope will be connected to a camera with a binocular lens attached to it. un-nessecairy. but still cool. im also mounting a sonar measureing tape device to the frount and mounting its lcd display next to the scope. this will allow me to see how far away my target is, and see clearly what it is with the scope, and aim with it for the laser :)

I want to warn you that I had the exact air compresor.If you don't put an oil or something it will brake for less then a hour of work.Looks like the bearing is made from the cheapest chinise iron.
