Paintball Handgun Question

[supercannons]

hey guys
found this in my garage:

with some paintballs so i figured why don't i make it into a paintball gun
so i pulled it all apart and now just have the gun frame on its own
Ive been looking around the internet on how paintball markers work and i figured it be the same principles for paintball handguns
has any one on spudfiles made a paintball handgun before cause that would really help me out
in terms of internal design

thanks guys

SEARCH.


and I will tell you your best bet will be a coax with a Tee that goes into the grip for extra chamber volume.

I dont know about painttball handguns... but there have been made alot of spud guns that can shoot paintballs... of course you have to find a good diameter barrel to fit the paintballs

I don't know but I'm pretty sure lot of spudfilers are into paintball so I'm sure you can get some help :]

A laser tag gun into a paintball one?

Umm.

If you made it into a functional single shot pistol inside the shell you would be doing well.

It's not ideal to get a shell then think of a design to stuff inside it.

Best to start with the most compact design you were capable then put a shell on top however you could.


But starting from the shell... perhaps a copper coaxial due to the slim nature of solder fittings and the more easily inserted single cylinder layout.

Two ports on the back of the coaxial, one going down for a blowgun and one out the back for a fill point.

You'd only get one shot but as I say, if you got that working that would be a job well done.



Goddamit, take so long to post my thunder is already gone on the coaxial

Sch120 3/4" is your pvc barrel of choice for paintballs.

3/4" qev is the valve of choice.

Now search, not for paintball hangguns but for the basics of piston valves and other homemade paintball guns on here.

Maybe you could use davidinis preloaded cartridge design but use copper to make small shells, then build a c02 tire inflator into the handle and use that to fill and fire your shells.
