well i cant give ya a pic yet but my barrel size is 3/4 in and my chamber size is 1 in is that why it sucks? ive heard to have a nice spud gun the chamber should be 2 in bigger than your barrel so im gonna make my chamber 2in or 2 1/2 in depending on what the store has, would it work good then?

thx :)

a 2 1\2" chamber would be too big unlessyoure going to have a 20 foot barrell on the gun iusually have a chamber 2 times the size as the barrell(depending on how long the chamber is) so 1 1\2" would be plenty

it really has to do more with your fuel mix and your chamber to barrel ratio. your chamber's volume should be 1.5 times the volume of your barrel. your fuel mix may also be crappy, too much fuel or too little fuel will give you bad performance, try experimenting with how much you spray in every shot, and make sure you vent your chamber between shots
