Playing with some bits I had, 1/8" QEV, trigger valve and 1/2" NPT coupler capped one end and 1/8" male thread welded to it to connect to QEV. 1/2" coupler is to screw in chamber.

I have a piece of 6.5mm ID tubing and some 1/4" steel BBs. :idea: It will just be single shot and muzzle loading :shock:

Thats really painful...mine would be more enjoyable to watch in all honesty...if the top half of my mag was exposed. :P

10 shots is great, but with my test pistol i have 16rds with 6mm in true semi-auto fashion. :D

Managed to Tig weld a piece of 1/8" thread to the barrel without destroying it :shock: It's somewhat straight but I won't be using it in the Olympics so I think it will work.
