Sorry for it looking crappy, but I had neither the time nor the patience to make it look pretty as hell. So, therefore, most of the things aren't to scale, or aren't done in much detail. So I'll try to explain some of it.
First off, the barrel may be longer or shorter, depending on how it performs. Second, the handle may be longer or shorter, depending how I like it. Third, I realized after I started making it that I didn't compensate for the thickness of the PVC. Keep that in mind. Those were the unimportant parts.
Now, probably the most confusing part is the trigger assembly. I'm going to attempt to have a trigger that goes into the PVC tube. The trigger will be attached to a guitar string, or fishing line, which will in turn be attached to the valve. When you pull the trigger, in theory, the string will pull the valve and open it. (Note, this is in THEORY...a lot of things work in theory...hell, communism works in theory...)
Another confusing part may be the plunger/air tank assembly. The plunger probably won't be that long, but I was too lazy to go in and change it on the image. Think of a WW2-era Sten gun. With the mag sticking out of the left side of the gun. Same idea, except the mag is further back, and has a plunger sticking out of it that's parallel to the barrel. The air wont go into the handle, because it will (preferably) be blocked off. The only way it will go is out the barrel when the valve is opened.
That's the basic idea. Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions?
[EDIT] I just realized that the measurement units aren't correct either. Apparently I used feet ( ' )...inches is " I believe... Forgive me, for I am a very tired Canadian.
