this is my first post and good piston valve so constructive critizism is welcome.
This is made of spare parts after a project with a friend and to be honest i got this idea while doin Geometry homework :roll:
the barrel is made from a pressure washer and i filed out the hex at the end.
it has a relativly small air chamber but it works great.
the piston is cast of hot glue and the sealing face of rubber.
it uses vehicle gear lubricant as lube
it shoots rather fast so airsoft bbs only go about 25m before going wherever they please. i find most sucess in lead .22 bullets
i did have a plan to put a red dot on it but with its limited range with cheap ammo i decided against it.
it shoots very strong im not sure how strong but according to damage it seems to shoot stronger then my airsoft dragunov which shoots 520 fps with .20s.
using this air rifle i can shoot through the bottom and top of a soda can with a .20

Umm the bottom of a soda can with a .2 gram bb is only 350 fps. Im not sure where you are getting 520 fps from the bottom of a can.
Yeah, it's that important.
