Here are my final plans for the pneumatic,
the barrel is 1"
the stock is 1"
and the camber, is 2".
All the pieces will be threaded and i already have the most of the parts!
I think it will be an awesome pneumatic!
here:

Not bad.
Chamber is somewhat large I think.
And whats with the excessive use of those elbows?

What will you shoot with that?
Try chick peas with a wadding

And whats with the excessive use of those elbows?

Psycix is right, this will put a lot of flow restriction...

Well, do you have any suggestion for something else?

And why all threaded parts? Sealing becomes more of a challenge.

Chamber could be 1/2 or even 1/3 that length.

All threaded parts, because i can't find any PVC glue
in my country, so i have to use threaded with teflon.

They sell PVC but no cement? What country are you from Elad?

Yes - you see that cluster of the three elbows in the bottom left? Swap them out with just one - Less parts to buy, less joints, and less flow restriction.

End result should resemble this more:

Well, i'm from israel, and yes, i asked for cement in every store...
and i couldn't even found a good PVC, every pvc (but not threaded) is a
'hot water PVC' and it's very thin.

thanx, for the plan, Ragnarok.

It sounds like PVC isn't supported very well there. Maybe it would be easier for you to go to copper or iron pipe. That's the route many of our Euro friends go for the same reason.

Yea, but it's my first gun, and it will be very expensive if i'll use iron,
and iron is very very expensive when the diameter is more than 1"..
i just want a basic gun.

i hope you are fully aware that you can build a very powefull gun with 1/2" or 3/4" iron fittings.... size does matter but not when you up the pressure....

yea, I know..
but i don't want a spud gun that shoots very small things, as my
first.

Looks like a solid plan to me, just seal up those threads and it'll work fine.

High pressure, low caliber is better then high cal. low pressure in some way.
You basically have the same kinetic energy, but its in a lower sectional area which means that you will probably achieve great distances and good penetration characteristics.
Also it comes in a more portable package.
