Well after so many repairs being made to pistons in my minis having to grind the gun open with a dremel
(kinda pissin me off) and marker guns generally not working I have decided I am going to make a seviceable marker gun.

The threaded plug and body of marker gun still waiting to get the 1/2'' female adapter.

fill side of shrader on hex side of threaded adapter. The socket where you would normally insert the copper pipe I cut off to make the gun shorter.

one of the best epoxt castings I have done is holding the barrel in it is really clear the cardboard I used that I made the epoxy plug with had smthing writen on it you can clearly read it through the epoxy.

Looking inside of the marker gun 5mm barrel is nice and strait.

Piston is made out of a small plastic thread spool with the thread on it filled with epoxy wrapped with electrical tape to fit type m copper pipe the pipe used it the gun, and a sealing face super glued to the top of the piston.

Edit forgot the pic of the barrel the widder part on the left of the barrel is 6mm aluminum this is used so the .5mm wall thickness of the 5mm aluminum won't slice into the sealling face

You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

I found the fitting I wanted 1/2'' female adapter.
unfortunatly the gun is a bit longer than the largest marker I could find.
And JSR epoxy is the best thing for strength but when the piston breaks the whole gun is useless if you can't fix it That is the reason why I made the gun serviceable that was probably aparent.

The whole gun all 160mm of it!<br />My pump isn't finished yet so no test until then.

The marker is about 143mm long and the marker gun is about 160mm long olny a meer 17mm longer still pretty good.

Pretty nifty little unit there. I assume you'll fire by piloting through the schrader. What did you have in mind to trigger it?
