Good stuff, though 100 psi is an insult for this thing :P

I would definitely sleeve the whole barrel with thicker pipe, no need to go the whole hog with baffles to make a suppressor, just drill a few holes in the muzzle and the large volume will do the rest :) don't forget than any air that doesn't go straight out of the muzzle is cutting down on recoil.

Instead of a stock (since the thing is already bloody long enough :roll:) which not just add a pistol grip forward of the blowgun with a rod to operate the lever? Then all you'd need is a buttpad et voila, anti-materiel rifle style :)

Yeah, I'm a bit anxious about getting my fridge compressor setup up and running. Instead of plinking at 100PSI (fill, load, shoot, repeat) from my air compressor, i'll be plinking at 350-450PSI :shock:

I would like to but I can't find any pipe the right size yet. This thin brass pipe makes it impossible to breech load because if you cut a hole in it for the projectile it probably can't support itself.

I've found another hose so I can move the blowgun forward and under the chamber. Then I just need a buttpad. I'm still thinking about adding a rod for the blowgun, the whole trigger motion moves the gun too much.

Keep the ideas rolling :P

It could be any old DWV pipe to sleeve the barrel, it won't be under much stress anyway.

Oh do you mean to sleeve over the copper? Is there a reason you want it a bigger diameter if that is the case haha?

It wont be much more. 1/8" NPT threads, hose rated for 4500PSI. You couldn't pass a kidney stone through this thing :wink:

I was thinking along the lines of this suggestion.

Problem is that I can't remove the copper shroud without messing up a lot of sh|t (in other words; it's epoxied). What I could do is drill through the copper (shroud) and brass (barrel) and then use a larger diameter pipe to cover the holes in the copper and brass tubes. So it'd look like this:

Tomorrow I'll look at using a lever for the blowgun, possibly moving the blowgun forward, scope mounts, the silencer idea and the buttpad thingy. :P

It was an accident. Just ask Tiger, he knows all about misplacing his club and balls :wink:
