Yeah, i had a strange idea one night and i thought "y does combustion have super small pill guns but pnumatics are all a lot bigger" so i desided to make a super small pnumatic. its just a 1" diamiter chamber with a BB barrel and a diaphram with a schrader valve to trigger and fill it. i havent glued anything yet so if u have suggestions now is a good time to give um.

why don't you add a hand pump right on it for portablility, other than that, keep it simple.

What did you use for a diaphram?

I made one out of syringes and syringe valves, well I havnt finished yet, no supplies. It will use syringes as pumps to go into a small chamber hooked up to a bb barrel (straw, they fit bbs perfectly) The syringes and valves are really easy to get because my mom is a nurse.

How will the syringe pump the air in? It will just suck the air out of the chamber.

good idea, but with a syringe, you can make a vacuum, and it will spring back at an extrodenary force, and it can shoot a bb out, i made on when i was 6, but shot spit balls.

http://img85.echo.cx/img85/6692/syringegun3aj.jpg I decided to use the syringe as the chamber to simplify things. Less bulk and only one valve.

it will be a pain in the ass to compress it to that point from full.
