Whimpy gun...

[deathbyDWV]

I was bored last weekend so I decided to throw together a little gun out of all parts I had around the Garage. (capital G for crowley) this is definantly the wimpiest gun I've made...

I was actually suprised by the power. It shot a bouncey ball about 150 feet... (and one into my garage wall )

It needs some paint...

hey it's pretty good I guess... sure it could be prettier but it has some nice features

[deathbyDWV]

Yeah, maybe I should change it to ugly gun instead of wimpy gun...

Good job on the handle and the breechload.
With a bit of paint this will be a clean launcher.

Thanks. Actually everything on the is stuff I've done before... Except for one thing... Can you spot the schrader? (it's kinda hidden)

[geniusbomberman]

is it on the sprinkler valve right after the tank?

[inonickname]

Yeh, it's on the sprinkler valve, facing down in the same direction as the trigger.

Not bad at all. Some footage of it in action would be nice. The breech load is also a nice touch, and asides from primer it's done rather neatly.

im diggin the breach, thats a really easy way to make a breach loader. did you just drill a hole in the ball valve?

Yep SB15 I am. Since it's old parts the coupling or bushine must have had something in it. It wouldn't go all the way in even with a rubber hammer. I'm surprised you're the first one to notice... I ended up sanding it and putting alot of epoxy on it. I still won't trust it to very high pressures though...

Tha schrader is right between the tank and the valve like Genious said...

The breech was made by drilling a hole almost big enough and then dremeling out the rest...

Sorry no video... I don't have a camera except my phone and it's my only was of taking pictures...

I did bad with the primer cuz I'm used to using clear...

[Marffy]

it may be wimpy but it sure looks cool. i really like it. i really like the ball-valve breech. kinda messy with the primer but i don't really care. others do. I've always kinda liked that kind of look.

Thanks. It is fun to show people this. I shoot I and they're like "woah you made that? That's really powerful!" and then I pull out my big cannon and punch through 4 sheets of plywood for them...
