This mini hybrid in progress has a galvanized steel chamber, aluminum cam locks, and an NPT spark plug. I have pneumatically tested it to 200psi with no leaks, sounds like a firearm when the disk blows. In the third picture, I have included a penny and a writing pen to give you an idea of scale

.
I am currently in the process of designing a stock/handle assembly and need help with ideas. The second pic shows my best stock idea.
You can help me out by transferring the first picture to paint and drawing a design for me. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for the help everyone!

Ignition will be a BBQ igniter for low mixes until I can convince my mom to let me get a stungun. Fuel will be metered into a 2"x12" reservoir then compressed to a 6x or so mix. An air regulator on the reservoir is attached to a tire chuck to administer fuel to the gun's schrader. A burst disk on the reservoir will relieve pressure in case of accidental ignition.

Thats an awesome mini Hybrid, but you should remote fire it alot, i mean your doing 6x in it, if the pipe ruptured, (unlikely, but possible) it would pretty much take your hand off, or worse.

As i said, unlikely but possible, count the recoil too if he`s firing heavy projectiles.

That guns sweet, can you explain it a little more, what is that little brass thing coming out of the bottom, I can tell that's 1/2" cam coupling, but whats the other stuff?
I never wanted to make a hybrid because they sounded like pain in el butto, but a mini hybrid I can probably do, interest me some more

I wish people would stop needing a better signature!
