Any body else built their own airguns?

Have fun!

Very cool, any plans for this???

THAT IS AWESOME KEVIN!

Is this your design? I really like the simplicity, and it is very effective.

Any body else built their own airguns?

I have built a single shot cannon a few times. It would shoot anything I could fit in the 1/4" bore. Usually steel bullets, but nothing near as cool as yours.

I say that you are gonna have little orange pellets all over your yard :big:. Cool.

That's NASTY!

I like to have one for garbage day.

the garbage truck may not like it.

Sweet! As an airgun afficianado, I love to learn how it works! What kind of pressure are you running into it?

Thanks all!

This particular design is my own, (I'll put together some drawings) but essentially it is just a fancied up version of this video which inspired me to build one.

Mute the sound unless you are a fan of bad music with offensive lyrics.

They keep popping up, even years later. My son would be quite thrilled whenever he found one. I guess the novelty is gone now... I have just got some more pellets which are heavier, green and black and biodegradable.

I had some good sized gold fish in that pond until a couple weeks ago when the raccoon's got 'em. Now I have some raccoon repellent. ;D

I love to learn how it works! What kind of pressure are you running into it?

The entrance and exit ports for the compressed air are tangent to the big bore of what they call the "vortex block" which is about 2/3rds covered by the side plates.
The swirling air draws the pellets in and the only way out is through the barrel.

My compressor was putting out just over 100 PSI, I'll have to double check during the next round.

Chuck, I think I remember seeing a nice air gun that you made. Is that right?

Cheers!

I added a stock;

Brock and John, sorry I haven't had time to make any drawings but if you have cad software I can send you the model. Just Shoot ;D me an e-mail.

Very cool. Brings back memories of my "Daisy". Just remember, "Be careful or you'll shoot your eye out" :big:
