ok this is my very first coaxial i ever made.
im going to paint it so dont tell me i need to. ( im sure yall will anyway tho)
it has a 4 inch chamber and a 3/4 inch barrell the diaphragm is made with a rubber end cap you get at home depot. i shoot mostly paintballs and 12 gram co2 cylinderes.
i have a little leak around the cleanout plug. but im working on trying to fix it. id post a pic of my diaphragm but i cant get the end cap off
also you can see thee setup i use for taking my gun to the beach and using paintball tanks. i use hpa so no chance of super cold air bursting my gun.
edit:::
new pics
ok i tried to fix the leak again and finally got the plug out. so heres some pics of the diaphragm and the inside of the gun..

That is one funky gun! Bet it shoots pretty hard with that big of a chamber and that small of a barrel though.
THe cleanout isn't pressure rated; try to find a threaded nsf-PW plug.

That looks like a really cool co axial. It must have been a mission building the piston, whats it made of? Are you able to service the piston though?
Good work

thanks and nope that thing is stuck in there and its impossible to get it unscrewed. yea if i find a pressure rated on i might reduce it. thanks for the positive feed back. ill try and get a video up when i get home from work

oh my bad.. no it was really simple. not a mission at all. i took one of these and cut the sides off so its just a rubber disk.. works like a charm...

yea it works really good, i cant take a video right now cause its pouring rain outside and all i got to shoot at the moment is paintballs so if i took a video of that it dosnt show much sence paintballs just splatter anyway. but if you want a video of me shooting paintballs then say so and i will. but it works really good.

very cool,
now you just need a handle w/ trigger and a breech load so it will be like a semi auto paintball gun!

Google video is nice. I use it for my vids. Good quality, 100 mb file size.
Also, it is really easy to sign up. Or, youtube (I bet you already thought of that one), although I have not used it.

ok i finally got it. heres 3 videos. the first and longest one is just of 3-4 bolts and then a bunch of paintball shots. the second video is me shooting 12 gram co2 cylenders but on the second shot my quick disconnect slipped and i misfired. the 3rd movie is just a bunch of paintballs loaded into the barrell.
all these shots are about 10-12 feet away.
