New to spud guns - a few questions

Miniature guns are novelty custom, unique, and sometime downright crude! Common construction materials often include pill bottles or pens. Show us your work!

England is notorious for expensive and hard-to-get PVC pipe and fittings. I would make a combustion over a ball-valved pneumatic.

Though a mini copper pneumatic would look very nice.

It's your choice, if Knoobill wants to make a combustion let him make one guys.

If you do know how to solder/use epoxy I would recommend making a mini copper pneumatic. England is notorious for huge supplies of copper and rather cheap QEV's.

Indeed it will be made of copper, I wil have to check the availability of the sizes I am looking for... (plans are a bit crude indeed :P )
now fitted with a 5cm fan, total chamber volume is 3 times the barrel plus the approximate fan's volume.

I wouldn't think a metal combustion is a better idea, as the body would betterabsorb some of the heat of the ignited gasses and therefore lower your pressure somewhat.

And like magic, after just searching the words: "Copper combustion":
Copper mini combustion
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
