Well, I got bored today so I started making something. I ended up with a semi-automatic, peanumatic airsoft gun! I get 3 shots with one fill of the tank. I used this airsoft peice. [img][img]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f12/p ... 7d8c94.jpg[/img][/img]


Next, I put a pump and added it to a small 1/2" PVC airtank with a small ball valve on it. I attached some tubing I got out of a nerf gun, and then attached a pull-valve I got from another nerf gun. THEN!, I added the airsoft peice and got this.

I open the first valve, which fills the tubing with air, then I pull the second valve and release the air that is in the tubing. It shoots a airsoft BB about 80 ft. Then I shoot another, and another! AND ANOTHER!!!!!! The gravity fed mag can hold 9 bullets but I can only shoot 6. Bummer. It takes about 7 pumps with that pump (also got out of a nerf gun) to fill the tank.

Looks like a prototype. Build that into a bigger version. Basically, you transfer air to the barrel airlock style?
