I was wondering if i could use a blowgun as a valve to shoot bbs or other such ammo. I would place a chamber filled with compressed air in the input part, about 100psi and out the end of the gun, place a 6mm tube. Will the airflow be enough for a half-decent single shot gun?
I have seen a video where someone on the website was shooting it, but i wasn't entirely sure how they made it.
Thanks
Marco

All you have to do is stick a barrel in the blowgun nozzle, like so:

Again, may I point you to this thread

Yeah i know, iv seen and read that thread, and that was the gun and thread i was talking about. But what i don't know is how the blowgun was powered, was it with an air compressor? or with a pressurized chamber? Add what im asking is can it be powered with a pressurised chamber?

That was hooked up directly to my compressor at 100 psi. I you had say a 1 litre soda bottle at 100 psi as a chamber performance should be just as good.
