I know alot of people use couplers to increase ROF, but...

I've been working with using couplers to have many interchangible barrels that work with many of my guns. for example, I have barrels for firing arrows, megas, micros, and laramis that all work with 1/2" PVC couplers.

Has anyone else done this? The only other example of interchangible barrels I've seen are baghead's Five-Use Titan and his quiver of all those PTEG barrels. I would really like some input.

Also, sorry I don't have pics, but my computer is really old and doesn't have the capability.

Even if people don't post it, they still do it. This is one of those things that is a pretty obvious idea and doesn't really require a writeup or anything for. I use changable CPVC barrels on my Maxshot; it's a pretty common idea.

Glad to see you came up with this on your own though, the PVC all-ammo barrels.

I had a 3/4" barreled homemade a while ago that had a few barrels. My combustion homemade I am currently working on has interchangeable barrels via 1" NPT male adapters. My most recent pneumatic homemade has a 1 1/2" NPT threaded ball valve which allows me to use a barrel other than the 1.5" barrel I have on it (see my sig's link for a pic). I think I might make a 1/2" CPVC and a 2.5" PVC barrel for it, that way I can shoot tennis balls and Stefans. 1/2" CPVC supposedly holds .5" FBR nicely. Thing is, I think I'm gonna need something a bit more accurate than a round object to have an increased probability of hit at ranges such as this or even this. The posts on that sound wall are spaced a bit under 20 feet, so you can figure it out from there... Yes that wall is tall.

Baghead uses the UBS (Universal Barrel System). They are barrels made of PETG nested in brass, that he can use on his AT2K, Crossbow,Titan, etc. I have also made interchangable barrels like this. I have couplers that can fit copper tubing, CPVC, or crayola barrels.

Thanks, guys! I just wanted to know who else does this, it's pretty useful having a gun that shoots all types of ammo.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't remember what he called it.

If you nest a crayola barrel in the PVC it'll shoot micros, just the PVC will shoot mega stefans and for the arrow just glue or an arrow barrel to a peice of PVC.
