Well I completely read through Bag's thread on the SMDTG's and couldn't find what the optimal barrel length was. So if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe there is one yet. Bags and Falcon both used 3", CPF used 4", and KBarker used a little more more than 2" on his integration.

I used 4" because I wanted to cut the brass in 3 equal sections. This weekend I'll try out 3" and see how that compares to it.

I used 2" of CPVC on mine. But it is still being worked on. I made them short because during a war I am definitely not taking the time to blow or ramrod the darts into the barrel, especially considering this is a integration/sidearm.

I recently used a crayola marker with the inside drilled out and it works great. I just have to plug the op valve but before I do I need to know what the max pump number is... Anyone know it?

I heard that 45 pumps blows the airtank. Stick to 42-43.

Have you ever heard the phrase "margin of error"?

I pump to 39 MAX. Also, mine starts to leak air after a minute. Anyone know what's going on?
