Well this is my marble/paintball sniper.
It features the all new 3 port sprinkler valve and is absolutely devastating, the gun as shown is unfinished but in working condition. I just need to finish painting and get the handle and blowgun mounted.

Well actually the barrel is alot longer than the chamber, it just looks like that because of teh camera angles. I had to take them at a angle to fit the whole gun it.

3 port valve??? Any pics of it disassembled? Very interesting. What have you devastated with it so far? Does a glass marble penetrate sheet metal? Cool sniper! Maby give it a little brother, and big brother as well. One big happy family!

Whats that? How do you do that? Whats the meaning of life? Do you have $10.00 dollars i could barrow? Why? lol!

I like the way the schrader valve is tapped into the sprinkler valve :D

The chamber actually is pretty big compared to the barrel even taking the camera angles.

Whats with the funky coloured M16 lookalike rifle in the background?

Thats my brothers toy gun that I had to fix with some plastic epoxy.
Maybe the chamber is big, I don't personally mind it. I have some more 3/4 sch 80 so I might make a longer chamber.
And thats isnt a shrader its a hose barb.
Ill have new pics up tommorow maybe and possibly a video.
And I will also have it complted with a handle and second air chamber.

pretty nice gun you should try and add a automatic reload system i found a person who did a nice diagram on this web site just search for semi auto and you should find it even though his is a little over complicated you could do it simpler i did but i didn't take many pictures.

Two ports going in, one out. Hella tight for dual chamber! But I am using the bottom port for a handle.
