Pellet Gun V2

Heres my second version of the pellet gun I posted earlier. The main improvements are a stock made from thin walled PVC, a larger hole for the valve and the hole closer to the o-ring. This version is slightly more powerful and much easier to aim. So far Ive been able to hit a coke can from 20 feet with ease and have not tested any further. I have a video and will post it as soon as it finishes uploading.
Heres V1.

Looks better now. Paint would make it look even better. Good job.

well the barrel is plugged at one end and when its pushed down a hole is exposed in the air chamber, I may make a video demonstrating it

Yep. I think I might make something similar. It seems easy.

It is except drilling a hole through the barrel, its a pain, the larger you make it, the harder the barrel is to push back, I made a model with a 1/2 inch barrel and I could not fire it at anything above 20 psi

Yeah it is only good on small caliber, it sould be easy to make a bb gun with two chambers for multiple shots. I think it would be cool.

Yeah it would, this is a lot easier to make than a piston valve this size

That's cool... I think you should make a real trigger...

I was thinking about adding a spring and then bending a small piece of metal as the trigger, it will work like the trigger mechinism on a airsoft springer but for now it work ok to just slide the barrel back
