Don't worry about him, it's not like he's not a moderator; he just thinks it's cool to act like one.
 
He is right that the Snapbow Mk. V writeup is probably the most complete SNAP writeup there is. However, if you are looking to make a pistol, you will of course want to leave off the stock. You can also shorten everything down to make it a bit more pistol-sized. In particular:
 
12 1/2" 1 ¼” sched. 40 pvc (plunger tube/main body)
12" of ½” cpvc (plunger rod)
[k26] spring (main spring)
 
I would cut the spring in half (down to 5.5inches), then cut the plunger tube and plunger rod to fit...they will probably be around 7 inches long. 
 
If you don't want to/can't order a [k26] spring (from here: 9637k26), then you can try to find some other 4 to 6 inch long springs such as the #49 spring from Ace or one of the bigger springs in this Home Depot 4-pack.

I found this to be incredibly useful when I started making my snaps, especially my pistols.
