I have recently constructed cobblers marshmallow gun, COPIED EVERYTHING AND AIR WENT RIGHT OUT THE BARREL!, got me angry lol. So I am wondering if anyone has a simple design for me to make a piston air gun. Preferable 1/2" barrel.

Thanks, P.S. im new!

The idea generally is that air goes out of the barrel :)

It sounds like your piston isn't sealing, could be a number of reasons - posting pictures will help us help you ;)

If you want a simple solution, a 3/4" or 1" sprinkler valve will offer excellent performance for a 1/2" barrel.

Yeah I have won that is already moddified for my tennis ball cannon, it is a 1" sprinkler valve with a blowgun and jb weld in the solinoid valve spot.

Thanks :P

But does anyone know how to make a piston air rifle or is it a good idea to not use PVC for these smaller guns? :roll:

For smaller guns, I highly recommend a commercial QEV:

dead cheap and very effective, and it saves you the heartache of making your own piston valve with limited tooling and materials.

What an odd question to ask on this site. :lol:
