Compact Pistol

[chinnerz]

A sawed-off double barrel is slightly more badass..

hmm to each their own.....
but to me the "thunder gun" takes the cake (by force)

looking at your avatar, why not try and base it off a flint-lock pistol. Nothen sexier than a flint-lock blunderbuss... coincidentally there is also nothing as “badass” as one

Well, I hate to nit-pick, but that gun I have there is a Philadelphia Deringer (The gun used by John Wilkes Booth to Assassinate President Lincoln). It is actually a percussion cap pistol, which is a step up from a flintlock (and a step down from a cartridge gun).

why hasn't anybody made a double barrel coax yet....????

I actually started on one once, It was working, but then the epoxy broke and I never finnished it. Anyway, back on topic, sadly winter break came and went without me doing much work on anything for some reason. Anyway, I am still wanting to make a small pistol at some time or another. I am interested in making a gun that works on the principle of JSR's Preloaded Pneumatic Cartridge concept. It would be about 8-9 inches long and probobly .177 or .25 cal. Anyway, I've gotta think about this some more. Any Ideas? and thanks for your responses.

Do you mean using cartridges or a single shot device?

If you combine the cartridge with your hammer for piloting you'll have a mean little pistol

I certainly want to give cartridges a go some time in the near future, the problem is that making a cartridge small enough to fit in a pistol fram means it won't be too powerful, probably not enough to cycle a blowback mechanism unless the calibre is ridiculously tiny.

Yeah, This would be for a single shot gun. That said, the cartridge would be removed for charging/reloading, in which case another could be put in for faster reload, yeah, It would be piloted by a schrader probobly, but I'm afraid the hammer will destroy the schrader pin after a few shots though.

Not necessarily but I understand your concern. Still, doesn't have to be a hammer, could be a simple level like this:

[maverik94]

Yeah, That was kinda what I was planning on doing, some sort of metal, one-piece lever/trigger combo like shown in the picture. Yeah, I am planning on making the chamber about a 2"x3/8" brass nipple and the barrel would be .177 cal. (4.5mm).

Hey Maverik, did you even see mine?

Hey Maverik, did you even see mine?

Yep, I shure did, I do like the idea of using o-rings in the place of tefflon tape. The only thing is, I would like to make it breech loading, and that's very difficult to do on coaxials (As I'm sure you know). What I want is something where you remove the chamber, pump it up, pop a round into the breech end of the barrel and put the chamber back in and fire, and you can't do that with a coaxial. Nice build though, it looks pretty clean!

Hmm, you don't ask for much do you?

Hah, no, I just know exactly what I want
