Sprinkler Valve Airgun
« on: February 11, 2009, 07:45:58 PM »
This is a picture of my last big airgun project:
I've used it to take down a couple of rabbits as well as test out a variety of ammo. It has been fun to shoot, but I decided it was time to move on from PVC and sprinkler valves and start making more advanced projects. It was later coupled with a back mounted air system that allowed me to be free from pumping between shots. It could hit a little over 100 fpe with .58 cal muzzleloader balls and 700 fps with 1/2" slingshot marbles. Another concept I tried sucessfully with this airgun was interchangeable barrels.

Looks like pvc to me.. That airtanks really isn't that small, when I was running 2,000 psi out of mine I would us a 1x8 inch piece of steel tubing to get fantastic results.. the more pressure you have the smaller your airtank can be  8)
