piston pistol(updated with piston pics)

[locksmith]

This is my latest creation and first attempt at a piston gun.It works great the piston is turned out of aluminum and has an o-ring.it has a marble barrel and i also have a 3/8 aluminum barrel that fires 3/8 ball bearings.The tank is aluminum as well.Only have had it up to 175psi but im sure she will take more the tank is made out of schedule 80 pipe.

That is a piece of work, really well done. Whats the performance of it?

[locksmith]

Im waiting on my crono but it goes threw half inch ply wood at 140psi

[ShowNoMercy]

How heavy is it?

[super spuder]

can you take a picture of the piston? that thing looks sweet. Can you take some videos of it?

Oh my man, that looks freaking awesome. Was it hard to make that piston? I have tried about 5 times now making a piston and never suceeded. Where do you peoples get your neoprene rubber at?
Once again great looking gun. Get some videos of it.

The piston was my second try I didnt use neoprene i used a lathe ans cut an o-ring groove on the front of the piston then jb welded an o-ring in it.I updated pics with piston

Very nice piston man!! Very innovative work with that o ring. Never seen it been used like that. One more time man Awesome Gat.

well made, makes me with i had access to proper machining facilities I could complain about the excess dead space but that's a minor niggle, congratulations

[locksmith]

I would not be upset at all if you explained or complained I am still learning and the knowlege would be apreciated.

I don't really see any dead space...

Maybe between the blowgun and the qev but since qevs take just a tiny pressure change it shouldn't be a problem. Plus the blowgun looks cooler where it is so the negligible amount of dead space is worth it.

Mea culpa, I meant "pilot volume", not "dead space" - but the bumper seems to fill most of it so great job

B-E-A-utiful!!!
I expect some pretty knarly guns out of you with the talent that you have exemplified in your FIRST Piston!!
You should make a CO2 adapter, mabee 12oz cartridges?
Also a hopper would be crazy!!!
