ok this is my very first coaxial i ever made.

im going to paint it so dont tell me i need to. ( im sure yall will anyway tho)
it has a 4 inch chamber and a 3/4 inch barrell the diaphragm is made with a rubber end cap you get at home depot. i shoot mostly paintballs and 12 gram co2 cylinderes.

i have a little leak around the cleanout plug. but im working on trying to fix it. id post a pic of my diaphragm but i cant get the end cap off


also you can see thee setup i use for taking my gun to the beach and using paintball tanks. i use hpa so no chance of super cold air bursting my gun.

That is one funky gun! Bet it shoots pretty hard with that big of a chamber and that small of a barrel though.
THe cleanout isn't pressure rated; try to find a threaded nsf-PW plug.

That looks like a really cool co axial. It must have been a mission building the piston, whats it made of? Are you able to service the piston though?
Good work

yea it works really good, i cant take a video right now cause its pouring rain outside and all i got to shoot at the moment is paintballs so if i took a video of that it dosnt show much sence paintballs just splatter anyway. but if you want a video of me shooting paintballs then say so and i will. but it works really good.

now you just need a handle w/ trigger and a breech load so it will be like a semi auto paintball gun!

Google video is nice. I use it for my vids. Good quality, 100 mb file size.

Also, it is really easy to sign up. Or, youtube (I bet you already thought of that one), although I have not used it.

ok i finally got it. heres 3 videos. the first and longest one is just of 3-4 bolts and then a bunch of paintball shots. the second video is me shooting 12 gram co2 cylenders but on the second shot my quick disconnect slipped and i misfired. the 3rd movie is just a bunch of paintballs loaded into the barrell.

all these shots are about 10-12 feet away.
