Here is something I threw together this morning and I am fairly pleased. Its a cheap shotgun style paintball gun, which i sawed half the barrel off of and put a basic CPVC breech on. Also a cardboard gravity-fed magazine. It works quite well however, it is too powerful. It actually rips the darts in half when it fires. This maybe because of how the beech is constructed. I think it could be effective for longer ranges if I can work out a better breech that suits the need.

Try a deoderant clip. You can make them almost air tight.

Baghead had something a while ago that was also having your problem. you know what he did? He gave it an air-restrictor. hope this helps.

then the gun exploded in the trunk of my car... ... because we moved it from one loc to another without removing the co2... god I was a dumb kid back then. and even with the added air restriction it was a bit of an unfair advantage. not because of the range, but the rate of fire.

Yeah, you have to be careful with these C02 cartridges, there is a lot of energy stored in them.

Update: I took the clip off and put on a coupler and a RCSB assembly, it works like a charm.
