The Saint

This Gun needs a name Help me with Ideas...
Ok so this first pic is the gun in its finished state... From this point on I will show you some of the finer points of the gun and some of its construction.

Now her we have the Air compressor rigging it consists of one 16 dollar 12volt car tire pump I found in my house I had bought it 4 months ago for blowing up bike tires. I found it at K-mart and I'm shurr you could find others for cheaper.

The Clip was a quick and easy thing to do I just cut down the clip and dropped in the the battery. The battery was a 12 volt battery you can pick up at radio shack with the female connectors for your project in the same package.

Here is the main action of the gun with the gray case over the firing pin. Under the gun is the connector that is hooked up to the compressor switch I ran it though the clip mount so i can switch out pack with ease.

In this shot I have removed the cover plate to show how the rest of the tank fits into the gun the only mod I couldn't show you if the trigger being connected to the recon trigger. I haven't extended the tank yet because I didn't want to touch that seal.

This is the barrel extension for the recon with a simple laser mounted to the top of the barrel it has been sited in. the light on the bottom has been mounted in place and fastened with epoxy and a screw that opens the converted battery compartment.

This last pick show the brass barrel that was mounted to the tank it fits flush with the extension and is centered with the laser site mounted on the extension.

Range: Average of 200 (Homemade darts)
Max Psi: I have only ever brought it to 70psi
Size:Slightly Smaller then the Recon
Price:Bigshot $5, Airpump $15, Recon was an old chop shoped gun.
Warning:I will never shot anything with some thing that I havent hit my self with and I took a 70 psi shot with a Homemade dart at a range of 10ft I have welts...
Its Story:It all started with a $5 big blast from 5 or below and after removing the tip of the barrel so it would fire homemade darts. I found that I could with ease peg my buddy from over 70ft. Dont get me wrong it was better then I thought for a $5 gun, but in my eyes it wasn't close to what I wanted so I tracked down in my work shop my old plug in compressor that you can find at k mart for all around 15-40 dollars. With that in hand it had begun I pulled the whole firing and barrel rig from the big blast and an old recon that had been scrapped for some part on an old mod and started to build. My first step was to remove the plunger slide from the air tank of the big blast and with some epoxy and hot glue I mounted the hose of the compressor into the back of the tank making shurr it was sealed tight and no air would leak out. next I wen to to work on the barrel that I cut out the plastic black stock one from the big blast and mounted in a copper one that was then to glued together. With this done the whole action of pump to tank and barrel was complete I went onto building it into the recon. This was the hard part after lost of cutting and removing all the internals I built the barrel and tank into the main part of the Recon. After that was done I started on the butt end of the gun by building the compressor into the back of the butt.u can find at k mart for all around 15-40 dollars.

After that was done I started on the butt end of the gun by building the compressor into the back of the butt. With every thing done and the gun was together It was time to rig the battery up, all I had to do was to cop shop the clip and mount an old Rc car 12volt battery into the clip and connect the plugs that was wired into the compressor. And walla It was done my truly heavy Big Blast Recon.
To save you more of this long boring story The range was 200ft flat with the tank and the compressor sitting at 70 psi and after 20 more shots it leveled out at 200ft the range test was done with the same homemade dart to test that it would keep range and the shot was tested in dead wind.
