You can go ahead and add me to that list of copper gun wanters. I desperatly need to find a good pump. Whether it be a compressor or shock pump. Might be goin to scrap yard soon and im gunna look for a fridge compressor. Very nice gun. Ill add a copper gun and the piston to my list of things to conquer.

Youre happy with 300psi for now, but believe me, before long you will want more ;) i can only recommend getting a fridge compressor and going for the 500+psi, now THATS a rush firing. literally 8) I'll probably be cooking up a 1" gun to be fired at 500psi if the contest everybody is talking about beomes a reality :D

haha thanks for the replies guys.

As for filling/loading it in the house, i will not do that anymore, thank you for running me through that..... im also adding a saftey to the thing. it needs it. not only a BV saftey but some kind of mechanical saftey. a hit with this thing would be BRUTAL.

and damage pics will be taken/posted tonight. I need some stuff to make rubble out of :twisted:

my shock pump can go to 500 psi with ease (i would presume, its 1/2 inch bore). problem is my guagge only goes to 300. i have one coming in the mail that goes to 600 though, not only for my shock pump but for in the likely event i get a fridge compressor :)

Its kinda funny, I was thinking about how much I want a copper gun yesturday. Today, while playing a war game with some of the neighborhood kids, I found a mini fridge that someone was throwing out. I immediatly ripped out the compressor, or what I think was it :D But I haven't started it up or anything yet... But I'm hoping :D

yea.... after i did that i was all sticky and covered in bannana guts.

penetration will come soon. it got too late after that last shot to actually fire the thing off legally............ after 9:00 here any loud noises could result in a cop call....... and cops dont like airguns with the same muzzle energy as their handguns.........

I will post that video in slomo.... its spectacular.......

Whew, you were precariously close to the edge of what looks like a homemade sandwiched plywood platform. Probably wasn't the safest shot of the year...result was impressive however.

actually, its an old rotting peice of wood. i have shot clean through it with this gun before....... so........ its actually QUITE safe. that and the cannon is.... like..... 4 feet long.

that and the camera was a good 20 feet away. it was just zoomed in.

as for penetration, im waiting for my bloody Mcmaster order to come in with the 0-600 psi guage so i can get my lead slug moving at speeds i want :D. it was "out for delivery" at 2:45 thismorning and it still hasnt arived at 4:00 in the afternoon.......
