pump action Dart shooting air gun

pump action Dart shooting air gun
This is how to make an air gun which is a single shot (shoots 1 dart) which uses PUMP action, and looks like a shotgun it shoots about twice as far a my blowgun i have made (u can find it on this site) which is about 100m and onwards I used the air to shoot the air gun from a compresser in my shed and that uses stuff all pressure so you can imagen how far it would shoot with an air chamber (currently under construction)
also it has a trigger and sights

What you need -- I HAVENT ADDED THE AIR CHAMBER IN YET --

bolt action design (on this site, look in search for BOLT ACTION BLOWGUN) this can be changed into pump action if you want.

curtain rod the same size as the bolt action 2 PVC joiners to connect the curtain rod to the bolt action/pump action and the bolt action to the trigger and a piece of wood for a grip it u want

you need a air sprayer you can buy these from hardware stors cheap ( they connect to hoses and spray air out, used in workshops to clean stuff, air sprayer fittings they usuall come with the sprayer or they might not LOOK AT PIC IF YOU DONT GET IT

 I also am wondering if there would be an airgun in hardware stores i could hook a portable air tank to like a paintball hpa or co2 tank

is it possible to make better pictures and maybe a tutorial video? I'm very interested in building this gun but these instructions are really confusing me. and also a materials list too, I'm not sure what to get to build it

you can put the air out valve like on a air compressor on a air tank made out of PVC pipe u you wold want to put a something to keep the pressure constant on the gun though

For the love of.... is your spacebar not working? Anyway, as far as I can tell, you want to know where the compressed air is kept. For the gun as you see it now, it is kept in an external tank like you can buy at the hardware store and connected by a hose to the handle of this gun. As for how to get pressure into that tank, go to the gas station. The bigger your tank (you will have to sacrifice portability), the more shots you can get before having to go back to the gas station.

ummmmmmmmmm... two words, BIKE PUMP
Jul 4, 2008. 2:12 AMRishnai says:
Haha, yes, I totally forgot. *embarrassing* Or shop air. The cost of buying an air compressor is far offset by the amount of time and effort saved in terms of pumping.<br/><br/>(maybe we ought to.plz.make.video.of.use.da.bike.pump)<br/>

huh, maybe theres a virus going around that makes it so you can't use your computers spacebar. maybe an anarchist did it... P.S. my friends dad's hobby is driving and fixing motorcycles, and has an air compressor, and i go to my friends place all the time, plus live in walking distance of a bike shop AND gas station, but how the hell do you carry around a gun thingy in public??? P.S.S. today is my birthday (yes, independance day, don't be jealous... unless you don't live in the states) P.S.S.S - LOL P.S.S.S.S - yes, this is VERY long winded

How to carry a gun thingy in public: just carry the tank, leave the gun at home. An alternate way to carry a gun in public is while wearing camo and shouting in some made-up language. You meet a lot of new people that way, most of whom are police. I'd love to write a virus that does snothing but diable spacebars! It's brilliant!

let's do a collaboration then lol no, seriously, i have tons of hacker friends
Jul 4, 2008. 5:54 AMAnarchistAsian says:

Jun 10, 2007. 5:46 PMchickenliver123 says:

Jun 10, 2007. 5:42 PMchickenliver123 says:

ya im a newbie at this stuff so.... i need help, how does the reloading thing work? also where can i get the air thing at the end of the gun?
May 5, 2007. 10:34 AMtalleu says:
whats with the green stuff
Mar 5, 2007. 9:32 AMididntdoit52 says:
if you used one of the really small air compressors you could make a backpack and maybe make it somewhat portable.
Oct 24, 2006. 4:19 AMFake_Name says:
Does it automatically reload when you pump it? If "Pumping" it only opens the breech, thant it's just a breech loading gun with an unusual bolt.
Jan 20, 2007. 12:33 PMVertigo666 says:
if you cut a hole right under the breech hole, and put a box w/ a spring, that would reload the gun as you work the action i wish i could show you w/pictures....
Jan 13, 2007. 7:42 PMMadass2 says:
That could do ALOT of Damage that is why i wanna make one xD
Jan 4, 2007. 7:48 PMVertigo666 says:

Nov 6, 2006. 3:46 AMFROOZ says:
DUDE OMFG I AM MAKING ONE OF THESE!!!!!!!! making a magazine wul be easy just attacth a water bottle with some connection and hav it attached to the breach so when u open it one falls down inso the barrel
