The solenoid could be where your "airtank" would be
and the pump should have the airtank there, with a tire valve and a bike pump under that. Use the 15 dollar one at Walmart with the built in tire gauge, It works GREAT.

Just go for the $10 or $15 one. I bought a $5 one at target, it broke. Then I had to go back, exchange, and get the other $10 one.Ok, thanks alot. I saw a 5 dollar one at target and I dont have much money... I will see how the 5$ one works out first, if not good, I will try to get the 15 dollar one that you said.

It's not like that. I put lube on it and its the same. Its just stuck. And when I cock it back it goes farther back then usual. Also I push as hard as I can and it wont go back in. I've tried the methods and they wont work. Also pics are up.

Don't want to shove balls in tight spaces. Trust me, bad idea.

If you're going to put the time into actually designing and building such a gun, it would be best to use parts that actually work, and work well. Pressurized airtank guns really need a higher level of quality in order for them to work.
Plunger-based homemades, on the other hand, are more easily built and small leaks here and there don't affect performance as much.
Rest assured, I'm not saying that it's impossible to build a homemade using water bottle caps and water bottles and stuff like that, it's just that you could build something so much better for the time you're putting into the thing.
As far as firing different types of ammunition--it has nothing to do with the homemade itself. It's all in the barrel. Go measure the ammo you want to fling with a ruler and find a material that works (by utilizing these forums and a little common sense--not just the forums).
Finally, as CS said, searching is good. There are already directories set up for modifications and homemades. The search function should also be used if you want something more specific.
I apologize if all this sounds harsh, but VACC is on the hunt, people.

(for the one-way valve, use the McMaster-Carr part. The homemade one I have up isn't very reliable; I'm working on a new one)
If you want, just reference the picture and build your own.
Or yea, you could go buy one like everybody else is suggesting.

Not to backseat mod, but shouldn't this be in homemades?
That was a great first post.
