paintball cannon

[dippydodo03]

this is my first spud gun. I'm going to use it in paintball soon.(i hope)

it is a very basic design. it has a 3''x2' chamber, a 2'' ball valve, and a 4' long, 1 1/2 inch diameter barrel.

I have shot a D battery through eighth inch ply wood and over 200 yards. it is small but it packs a huge punch.

at 120 psi, this thing shot d cell batteries farther than my gun, which has a 1" sprinkler valve. other than that , it is the exact same, but with a smaller c:b ratio.

we've had some fun with this sucker.

Come on schmanman you know he can't discuss using it in a paintball game on the forums... Anyway nice gun,if you replace the ball valve with a sprinkler it would be even better

what? yet discussion of airsoft and paintball mines is fine? the rules say specifically that paintball and airsoft are ok.

an he is working on a piston valve gun.

[dippydodo03]

whats the big deal.

[schmanman]

oh, nothing.

It is against forum rules to shoot at any living thing (plants excluded)

paintball and airsoft are excluded, though.

[MrCrowley]

I hate to quote the rules but:

Discussion of shooting anything at any person and/or animal is prohibited, and may result in a permanent banning of your account.
The exception to this rule is for proper use of legal airsoft and/or paintball markers.

You can discuss shooting people as long as its using a proper paintball marker, not a homemade one. As they tend to be alot more powerful and can really hurt someone.

Oh and that reducer is DWV unless you have one of those rare pressure rated ones I saw on SGTC

i'm not going to shot anybody with paintballs at 120 psi. if i turn my POS victor II up all the way i can probably do more damage.

[schmanman]

besides, i am... well, dont want to get banned.but.... we are going to play capture the base with the swat gun, and 500-600 paintballs, and a kid me nor mudman nor any of the people we paintball with like.

[alextheametuer]

pretty nice cannon you should make it automatical reload but good job

[jrrdw]

Just move this to the proper section and your in hands down, (i beleave). You going to paint it? D battery at that distance, sweet!!

[dippydodo03]

thanks guys. i'll try to find a camo skin for it.

Yeah, but if you put a solenoid valve on it you'll get huge FPS increase.

[schmanman]

yeah, we are working on a piston valve gun, with a valve similar in size to a mauler.

[dippydodo03]

not going to put a solenoide on it. it works for what i need it for.
