ITWOST,

Finally working on a project I've been itching to build for a while; a semi automatic dart/ 9mm steel BB/ paintball pistol



It's far from being done, but it's finally coming together

That thing is tiny

That thing is tiny

And I've got a tiny regulator to go with it.

I found a piece of pipe in the scrap metal pile at work yesterday. A galvanized 4"x12" nipple in the middle, with a coupler on one side and a solid brass 4" camlock plug on the other. It's just waiting to be built into a hybrid, HGDT says that with a 20X mix (probably not safe, I haven't calculated burst pressures yet), and 4 lb 4" projectile, I would get 73000 Ft/lbs.
But the matching aluminum camlock socket would set me back about $50, brass or SS about $150, and the bushings to go down to 1/2" so I can connect it to a pump and propane would be another $50-100, not to mention the barrel...needless to say that without a job I am strapped for cash and I can build many more smaller launchers with that money, and a giant hybrid probably shouldn't be my second cannon.

Also, we have a LOT of metal electrical conduit at work that I can use. Mostly 1" and 1-1/2", but I found a few pieces of 3/4", 1-1/4" and 3". Do these have any use in spudding? Most are unthreaded for use with compression fittings, but a few 1-1/4" conduits have threads on them. Other than the issue with the seam, can these be used as barrels? What about on a hybrid? How high of a mix could I take them too? Found a couple couplers too, I could do a 60' barrel if I had a big enough chamber and enough space.

Somehow it has *mysteriously* disappeared grom the garden after I discovered the holes

Yeah, it's my dad's work, I hang around cause they have lots of nice tools (no lathe or mill though ) and free stuff in the scrap pile.

Every true spudder has a similar story were the steel slugs hollowed out?

Every true spudder has a similar story

I'm very happy I didn't hit the water tank besides it instead, would be less easy to hide

were the steel slugs hollowed out?

Yep, And as you can see from the exit hole on the watering can, it flew straight
I spotted a ripped piece of grass in the garden, I might me able to dig it up

I actually have a drawing of it;

Nice... centre of gravity? looks like the walls could have been a bit thinner...
