I made this ball valve gun about nine months ago, but it was nothing really special. It was just your average b.v.g. So, I recently upgraded it. First off, the whole base of the gun is made out of cpvc because I wanted a compact and more comfortable gun. I used a brass valve with a 19 inch barrel of sch 80. I put another peice of sch 80 underneath just for looks, but maybe I'll put more ammo inside. I slapped on a wrench force bicycle pump on the bottom, which is a very nice pump.

Now for the ranges. I have two different methods of firing the gun. The first and more accurate way to fire the gun is to push the handle half way back. This way, I have total control of the gun and there is no kick back from firing. I installed a second vertical post right by the handle, so I can stablize my right hand while holding the barrel of the gun with my left. This way, I can hit a 4'x5' dumpster from a distance of 100' everytime. It's a little more difficult to hit a man sized target (unless he is very fat), but not impossible. By just releasing the air pressure as fast as possible, I can achieve distances of 150 feet, 160+ angled. I'm going to get better ranges once I make a few more darts. Here she is:

Gee, that camo-tape sure does get around.

19" sounds pretty reasonable for the barrel, but the picture [and its wierd perspective] make it seem much larger than it really is. In fact, that picture makes it look absolutely massive
