I am looking at making a shotgun that will fire 8 darts simultaneously. I war inside and want it for clearing corridors. I don't need huge range, 40'-50' would more than surfice as that is more than the length of most of the rooms. Spring is preferable due to faster reload times. So, the larger snap variants come to mind as an ideal solution as they have a large plunger and put out a large volume of air (someone quoted 25ci). Is that sufficient air to push 8 darts 50'? If not, would any other spring based homemade be better?

I can make the shotgun head and adaptors etc with ease

Before anyone says "try it and see", I live in Australia and materials are very hard to come by so I don't want to throw a whole load of difficult to obtain resources into what could potentially be a project doomed from the start.

Thanks,

I have a nerf powerclip that isn't firing with the same vigour it used to. Slower rate of fire, reduced range etc. I've taken it apart and I think it is the air tank. The rubber looks slightly perished. So I want to make a replacement airtank. Has anybody done this succesfully? Any recommendations or things to avoid? As it stands my current plan is a pvc tank that occupies the space the fully expanded rubber tube did.

I searched and didn't find much. Before anybody says "try it and tell us how it goes", I live in Australia and nerf guns are rediculously hard to come by. I had my last one shpped from the US by a relative. As such I would prefer not to trash a nerf gun by doing something that could have been prevented.

Thanks
