Materials:
-Dremel with grinding bit and cutoff wheel
-Miter Saw(optional, will make cutting neater and faster)
-1/2" PVC Schedule 40
-1/2" CPVC, PETG, or other preferred barrel, brass could be used too, but that's gonna get expensive.
-Super Glue or other adhesive
Steps:
1) Take and cut off 3" of your barrel material, like so:
2)Cut a piece of PVC 7/8" long, and, if it doesn't already, dremel out the inside so it fits easily but tightly over your barrel material.
3) Cut a piece of PVC 1 1/8" long. Then slide it over your barrel material. Then slide the 7/8" piece under that, make sure they are pressed together and the 7/8" piece is even with the bottom of the barrel, and glue ONLY the 1 1/8" piece into place. If you are using CPVC, it will need to be hammered until the bottoms are even, and then you have to place the 7/8" of PVC under that and hammer it until CPVC is even with that, like so.
4) Remove the 7/8" piece, and mark the side that it was removed from. That is the front of the barrel, which faces out. The other side of the shell is where the plunger makes contact with. If the barrel is too long and your darts don't fire, you can trim some material off of the front, BUT NOT THE BACK. CPVC didn't work for me with the Vulcan, so I used PETG instead, because my darts are a tight fit in CPVC anyway, and the Vulcan doesn't have that much air volume stock. End result:
PETG^
CPVC^
Firing Video: Ranges are somewhat comparable from what I saw testing it in my room, I still need to tweak the barrel lengths and stuff some more.
