14 gauge double barrel break action shotgun

[koolaidman]

Hey again guys. I realized this site has been in a lull. Too few new cannons and too many 13 page topics about zombie uprisings. Ive been working on this shotgun for the past 2 weeks its pretty much done i still gotta paint it tho.

stock- all 3/4" sch 40 pvc
valve- 3/4" watermaster piloted by 1/4" bv.
Barrel(s)- two 2ft lengths of 3/4" cpvc. The Id of which are almost presicely that of a 14 gauge. they are on a hinge and snap open to slide in/ out shells.
shells- 2" copper pipe lengths with washers metal epoxied on. Stuffed with cotton wadding and a paper shot cup.
shot/ ammo- each shot cup will hold either twenty .2 gram airsoft bbs, 50 4.5mm steel bbs, or a marble. also suitable for paintballs w/ out shells.

I designed this with skeet shooting in mind. I havent tried the steel 4.5mms yet because of my yard, but the 6mms will absolutely destroy a cd rom at close range. The shot cups work relatively well, but at a farther range the .2 gram bbs produce a very wide shot, unsuitable for a cd. Im gonna see if the steel ones work any better and possibly make a pidgeon launcher to throw the cd's. I also just got 2 rotten watermellons free from work, so expect to see some carnage in a bit.

[potatoflinger]

That looks great! It looks almost like a real shotgun. Great work :thumbup:

[Mr.Sandman]

also any chance of some more pics(damage and break barrel) and maybe a vid? what is your operating pressure?

[brother361]

thats really cool man good job wat is it a tee that separates them both or what

[biggsauce]

Looks mean man, nice job

Can you post some pictures of how your breach works?

[stevenarroyo]

wow man that looks very nice.
maybe i'll make 1 alil like yours.

how you make the shot gun shells? they look cool too.

[koolaidman]

thanks guys. more pics to come.

mr sandman- i usually run 100, but id take her to 130.

Brother- it's a fitting got it off flexpvc.com. It doesnt look like its on there anymore. It's a 3/4" TO 1/2" two way manifold. ill show it in a pic.

Bigsauce- its pretty simple. It's on a hinge and The 3/4' cpvc barrels snap into 1/2" coupling pretty nicely since they are almost the same OD.

steve- for the shells i sanded down a foot of 5/8" copper, cut it into 6 2" shells and metal epoxied on heat treated steel washers.

Koolaid, that's a cool little collection you've got there. This shotgun is unique and I have noticed that special adapter at flexpvc.com before.

Innovative and reasonably clean build. Nice job!

Nice job

Im inspired by your work... truely I am.

Interesting, Crosman had made an air shotgun along with its own low powered skeet launcher for target practice.

Nicely done. I like your gun rack

Since you are using a handful of smaller projectiles I think the following is not an issue, but have you fired two pieces of spud yet?
I ask that because when one projectile leaves the barrel, all pressure is quickly vented, and the other projectile lacks pressure, causing one projectile to go faster then the other.

Could we get a more detailed pic of your breech?
