just for a bit of fun i made a tiny coaxial bb gun using a sch 80 nipple and 2 1" threaded encaps for a chamber, the piston is a piece of rubber, epoxied to wood. i drilled a 1/4" hole in the 1/4" compression x 1/8" npt adapter so the brakeline would slide thru it, it works very well, the bumper is a piece of sheet rubber, left over from when i cut out the piston
its a single shot gun, i dont think a piston is overkill
no theres no equalizer because the rubber isnt cut perfectly, theres a little notch out of the side that lets air thru
i could, but that would mean tapping another hole in the bottom, and using a different screw on cap, really its too much work when i already have a good firing cloud
This is my first attempt at a piston gun. It has a 2 SCH 80 chamber and a 1/2 SCH 40 barrel. It uses a barrel sealing piston made out of a 1 coupling...

Nice looking cannon, well done. I agree, leave it unpainted!
Heres my new piston gun. It has a 1 1/4 by 12 chamber and a 1/2 by 17 barrel. Nothing special here.Tell me if the Pics come out good or at all.

I'm curious where you got such a heavy duty cap like that for piston. My 3/4 caps are thin walled and have lots of wiggle room in 1 1/4. No good for...
This is what the basics of my next gun are going to be. A clean mini piston gun like Mr. Plow did, except less than 1.5 cubic inches of pilot volume,...

Everyone's always surprised on how easy diaphragms are and a lot of people who've never made them think they're a lot harder than pistons. They're...
