Hiya, I'm planning on building a new airgun and I was wanting to get some help on its design, so I'll explain what I'm planning on doing. Ok first please look at the picture, Now I fill the main tank and valve-1 stops air getting into the Firing tank. Valve-1 is linked to the bolt action mechinism so that when the bolt is opened the valve is opened when it's closed the valve is closed. So I Open the bolt to put the bullet in and the firing tank is filled with air, I close the bolt and it closes valve-1 so the main tank is blocked off , then I open valve-2 to to fire. This way you get multiple shots. The picture is useless so the valve closes to the right is valve-1, The one closest to the left is valve-2. The smallest chamber is the Firing Chamber, The biggest The Main Chamber.
You can get BB guns but you need a proper shooter's license. You're more likely to be approved for a shooter's license if you live on a farm but it certainly wouldn't be granted to a city-dwelling airgun enthusiast :D Even slingshots are illegal here.. strange thing is that you legally buy the ammo and slingshot rubber, but not the frame. If you even tried to import an Airsoft gun into Australia by buying it online, I think you'd have the cops on your doorstep soon enough.
