She is mostly Zero's basic homemade, but with a few slight changes.

I plan to cut a hole about 3/4ths of the way down the barrel on the top only, to allow my micro dart ammo to fall in. I am going to be using a 5 round ammo magazine, which will be permanently in place, it will be gravity fed, hence why the magazine is loaded from the top, much like a Bren. I plan to have the magazine made out of a sturdy kind of wood, probably oak, the top rectangular piece of the magazine will have either a door, or a sliding panel, allowing me to drop more ammunition in as necessary.

It will be using a ball valve, for simplicities sake, and the only thing that I might have problems with is I plan to integrate an entire bicycle pump into the rifle. Which with extra tubing made out of PETG will reach up to where I plan to have the air tank, the PETG will be cinched and duck taped, if I am not able to have what I believe to be a good enough sizing with the end of the bike pump.

The PVC you see going down and reaching the bike pump after the Ball Valve is simply a foregrip.

Well, here she is, I hope that my write up wasn't too rough, or my paint drawing. (Don't crush my n00bling hopes too soon <_< )

Criticisms? Questions? Comments?

Edit: URL update, left out critical coupler and bushing:

P.S. Couldn't get the picture to upload in the forums to proper size...only the URL works like I want it too, sorry guys.

My question is; how do you plan to have a seal between the dart and the barrel without a bolt? If you can get a bolt system in there to work with the clip, I don't really see any problems with the other parts.

Whoops, left this out!

I plan to take a bushing and a coupler, and reduce the size of the PVC to that of one micro dart to ensure snugness in the barrel, then take the coupler and extend the barrel the rest of the way.

I will go ahead and update the URL, thank you Ompa.
