Here is a basic RPG that I made for my paint ball games. It is 2'' chamber and a 2'' barrel and it has a modded sprinkler valve with a 1/4'' ball valve trigger. And it all so has my gutair strap on it so I can have it on my shoulder. It doesn't look great, I throw it together the night before the game, and my friends broke so this is how this one was born.

Good job, but that's a huge amount of dead space. Or maybe you want not that great of performance, because it has to be safe.

Where have you been? Haven't seen you on the forum for a few months.

Been around, haven't done that much spudding, been really busy, but now I am working on my Hybrid. I will be on more.

And the reason for the dead space is it had to be under 120fps and it didnt have to shoot that far. It shoots like 200ft pretty good.

I Know special weapons in paintball like rocket launchers, normally used for eliminating paintball tanks, have to be under 120fps to be deemed 'safe'.

Nice job although I would rather mount that support strap on the main body of the gun. For structual reasons. I have had fittings on my sprinkler valves come loose like that :(
