How to Make a Spring Powered Paintball Gun

In this Instructable, I will show you how to make a spring powered gun that can shoot paintballs, rocks, etc.

Step 1: Materials

5 foot piece of PVC (3/4 inch)
1 foot piece of PVC (1/2 inch)
PVC cutter or Hacksaw
3/4 inch T Joint
3/4 inch end caps (x3)
Strong, long spring (see picture)
Stubby, weak spring (see picture)
Balsa wood (or Bass, Poplar, etc.)
Electrical tape
Drill+ Bits
Chisel
Nail (one only)
Airsoft 20mm rails (Optional)
Airsoft Red Dot Scope (Optional)

Step 2: Body Assembly

Cut the 3/4 inch PVC to the following lengths-
Barrel- 45 cm (or whatever length you want it to be)
Magazine- The length of your SHORT spring minus 0.5 cm.
Stock- Length of your LONG spring plus 2.5 cm

Cut the 1/2 inch PVC-
Piston- 6 cm

Step 3: Magazine

1. To make the magazine, Cap the previously cut PVC.
2. Cut your wood into a Circle that will fit into the PVC snugly.
3. Tape the wood to the top of the spring.
4. Insert the spring into the magazine, wood on top.

Step 4: Operating Spring

1. Tape the "Piston" (1/2 inch PVC) to the Long spring.
2. Drill a hole all the way through the bottom of the piston (see picture).
BE SURE TO PUT FOAM/SOMETHING SOFT ON THE TOP, SO IT DOESN'T BREAK THE PAINTBALL IN THE BARREL.

Step 5: Stock

First, draw your grove (for the nail to stick out of)
Then, draw the notch (to lock the spring back.)
I have 2 notches, one for hight velocity and the other for medium velocity.
Depending on the strength of your spring, the size of your groove will vary.

Now, here is the hard part- cutting out the groove.
I drilled it out and then cleaned it with a chisel (Picture 2), instead of cutting it (it was much easier).

Then, drill a Large hole in the back (Picture 3).
Now, put the spring with the piston into the stock.
Push it down a little bit and push the nail through the hole and the hole in the piston (Picture 4).
Picture 5 is the final result (of the Stock).
