Basically you just do the same thing as an inline but use elbow joints to connect the chamber to the barrel so they lay parallel. Pretty simple really.

I think what you want to know is how to build a barrel sealing coaxial, is that right?

Inline, some guys use modded sprinklers in thier chambers. Do a wiki search, all the info will be there.

Do you even know what the [intercourse] you are talking about?
You don't, not at all.
What you described is a over under launcher, coaxials use a diaghphram or piston.

Paaiyan, you can stop giving faulty information any time, as Frankrede said, you just told him how to make an over and under when he asked how to make a coaxial. I would tell him, but I like to make people think for themselves, Timebmb757, do a little research figure it out for your self. People have explained it many a time, it just takes, dare I say it, work to find the information you require.

Experament-u2, I like that animation, where’d you get it? Or did you make it?
Call me "Judge", it's easier to type.
