could someone please put this throught ggdt i would like to know what length of chamber to put on my 3/4" paintball bolt action.
the barrel will be 1m of 3/4" pvc
the chamber will be 1.5" pvc (i'm guessing around 50cm)
it will use a blowgun piloted 3/4" qev
and there will be no dead space.
thanks.

i said that the barrel would be 1m long and the chamber around 50cm but its the chamber length i want to know. and i just realised that i left out that i will use it at 100psi.

Any reason you can't run it yourself? Anyway, what is your projectile's mass?

What gas are you using? How can you possibly eliminate all dead space? The projectile would have to be resting against the piston of the QEV.

ok there will be practicaly no dead, space and the projectile mass will be around 3.2g and i will be using air.
i can't put i through myself because i don't have ggdt

If noise and pumping isn't a problem and you want maximum power, go ahead and make it as long as the barrel. If not 30 to 50cm will suffice.

yes but i want to know what velocity the cannon will shoot at aswell and how much using a bigger chamber will change that, eg a 50cm chamber compared to a 70cm chamber.
