Will the switch shot fit in thinwall 1" PVC?

I have always wanted to make something like this and I finally got enough patience up to do it right.



I think this will describe it better than 5 paragraphs and be easier to read:

1.25" PVC Body.
Plunger tube is 1" Thinwall PVC
Brass breech is connected to plunger tube
CPVC barrel is stationary
Plunger moves back to prime
Opening in brass is exposed when the plunger is back
Dart is pushed into CPVC barrel by tighter CPVC behind it when plunger tube moves forward
Clothespin trigger

Key features:
Almost perfect seal (Plunger looses a bit of air but moves faster to compensate)
Unlike previous SNAP variants, trigger is easy to pull (Leverage)
Almost no dead space. Dart loads 0-1" from the plunger head's resting position.
Plunger is lighter than PVC (From bike pump)
Dart is pushed into barrel like angel breech, so loading multiple darts is easy
Removeable stock
Comfy

And the moment you've all been waiting for...

Ranges: Good.

Yeah, I know, kind of a letdown, but everyone measures differently. Plus, after a certain point it doesn't matter anymore. You're not going to have a showdown with someone from 100 feet away. It hits hard at 70' and that's enough for me.

Notes:
I still need to cut a larger hole for dart loading, but my dremel stopped working and I haven't ordered a new one yet.
The two couplers in the front are because I cut the body too short.
Any questions? I know this is brief and lacking in details, since there are so many to list, but I'd be happy to provide any there are interest for.

Anyone remember this gun? As far as I know it never came out. Am I wrong?

I am planning to build a spring powered pistol similar to Boltsniper's NTS. First off, I should say that I am in no way doubting Bolt's ranges. It has a breech, yet it beats all the other pistols I have seen (rangewise, that is). I PM'ed Bolt to ask him what spring he used, but I guess he is no longer active. Does anyone know what makes it so special?

To save you some time:
NTS
GNS
SNAP 4m
MPSP

I am working on a homemade, but I have gotten vinyl (I think) tubing debris between my barrel and plunger. My plunger is 1" 200psi PVC. I want to try pouring hot, or possibly boiling water down the barrel to try and melt the vinyl, but I am wondering:
1. Is this safe?
2. Will this damage the PVC?
3. Will this work?
4. Will this damage my PETG barrel?

I am not positive that this is vinyl. It is flexible clear tubing that you can buy at ACE. It is 1/4" ID and 3/8 OD.
