Really? I thought leaf blowers were the closest thing to 'exhaling' vacuums Question

Anyway, I want to use something that I can get for cheap.

Well, when ever it happens (unless its past already), it be great to hear what went on. Have fun!

We still havn't decided when or where it will take place. I still havn't even made one yet! This weekend my Dad is gonna take me to the hardware store and buy a bunch of PVC pipe and springs.

How much power can you get from a spring-powered mechanism? I would have thought not a lot unless you're using very heavy springs and some extremely strong quick-release system.

Sounds like a fun project though, be sure to post pictures of the guns in development!

I was going to use a relatively weak spring, but a super long one which would extend LONGER than the barrel, but has a stopper to keep it from flying out of the barrel.

Sounds right, but what do you stop it with and how do you reload it to fire again?

by Sting Auer Mon Feb 07, 2011 6:29 pm

The stopper is an arm that extends out the Back of the barrel. To reload I just pull it back, which would lock it in place until I pulled the trigger.

Visualy in my head, that looks like the old Nerf guns where you pulled a plastic head from the back of the barrel, load your sticky dart, then fire.

But the idea of the spring extending out of the barrel (Also may catch on something if to long could pose a problem), wouldn't that effect the painballs' accuracy in some way?

I have an air gun that normally shoots cork ( wine cap ting ) but paintballs fit to
It can shoot through an serial box whit cork

O about blow guns
My brother bought a nerf gun that was bigger than I had
so I make my one

en it turned aut to by an blowgun and is was stronger than his and he is a bit disappointed that mine is better

but
the air gun has an dubbele valued air load machanisme
