I know you guys will probably hate me for asking this but is a homemade air tank just pvc hooked up together? I searched and read for a few hours. Now if I'm correct (please correct me if i'm not) i would take a bike pump, bond it to pvc, then to a pvc air tank, then to a valve, and finaaly to a barrel. I hope thats right because i cannot seem to understand homemades.

A homemade is really just anything that you made yourself. For air tanked one yes it goes air source (pump of somesort eg. bike pump or compressor)>into a tank> tank is hooked upto a valve that is closed when fillin the tank and oped when ready to fire>then to a barel.
You could always do recievers and what not for mags so you can have several shots though.

There is also a plunger version where the tank and pump are combined together so to say. The plunger is inside the tank as such (basically like a bike pump) and then is hooked directly onto the barel. Tanked guns are always more powerful as it isnt possible to get the same pressure/force put of a plunger.

Then there is discs. I dont no quite how this works but im pretty sure its just 2 spining wheels that wen a dart/disc is put between them the discs catch the "bullet" and "fling" it out.

Hope ive helped.
