Well a week or so ago my brother and I were very, very bored and so i decided to make thinks a little more intresting with this 10min gun. I used the watering this my mom used to spray copper sulfate onto her plants. I took the valve and "barrel" of of it. Then i took the hose of of a hand pump i have and epoxied the tube from the valve and barrel to the hand pump. So the hose acts as a chamber. I took then gun to 150psi and had some ok results using lead balls and nails, the barrel ID is 5mm.
Note this is mainly my brother's gun and it is not quiete what i am capable of doing, wait a month or so to see my first gun now enjoy the pics, sorry there are no damage pics besides a few holes in carboard. Ask any questions and extra info yo need, i will not change much on this gun as it is jsut a cheep past time.

Looks a bit powerful.

try fitting that on a hand pump and a wood stock to make a sniper.

Looks nice Rob, I just finished one something like this, but with a much smaller barrel, You should find some other ammo than fishing weights, make a simple split mould, melt down some tire weights and get some serious ammo going!

nice...

try using 4.5 mm pellets

There you go john. Is this the leaky one you where telling me about? Strong little bugger putting holes in the can!

Well if I decide to use pellets i will use .20cal not .177 as .20cal has a very tight fit in 5mm barrels. Yes jrrdw this is the leaky gun i told you about, it still leaks a bit but that is barely noticable. I have an old stock in my celer so i might just strap that on to it. It sure is fun to tinker with but be prepared for something more serious from me. I am thinking of making 5mm round balls for this gun but am clueless about makign a mold for it, and as I said before, this shouldnt be a big time/money investment so dont suggest huge improvements, its not worth your tim and effort.

Thanks for the positive comments from every one

Update(well kind of):

While using the gun today i managed to blow the epoxy and part of the pump its self of. i found a shock pump and will use one or two compression fittings to connect it to the gun, it will take longer to fill but i hope it will be stronger and wont leak. Ill buy the fittings tomorrow, and ill put the gun onto a stock, my bro will love it!
