hey guys

anyone good with guns here?

I feel like most of us

alright

basically i want to make a airgun

i know which parts to get etc

just need a good guide

@Dais17

Are you thinking about a break barrel? Or hooked up to a compressor?

just a simple compressor

nothing fancy

And shooting what? BBs, pellets, nails?

well

I am in australia

so idk what the best would be

What’s the purpose?

self defense- people are getting very violent here in Sydney due to panic of corona

Ahhhh. Personally I’d build a muzzleloader. Hook up a pipe to a trigger nozzle. Put a patch down the barrel, then fill with whatever you’re firing. BBs would work fine as a deterrent, but a thinner pipe with a nail attached to a duct tape cone (basically a big blowgun dart) would be more effective for defense.

yeah

i was thinking a pressurised air cylinder as the thing that pushes it

but then again

the bb needs to be completely sealed within the tube

I’d just use a handful and make it scatter.

nah

inaccurater

If you want a single BB charge, look at hunting pellets.

and dangerous

i know that sounds ironic

but i dont want to kill

and a shotgun bb airgun has a higher chance of accidenitaillly killing

I disagree. With more projectiles being pushed down the barrel, they’ll move slower even if padded by a patch. Plus they’ll scatter and give a greater chance of hitting.

yeah, i still want to go with a single shot

is that ok?

Sure. You could look at refrigerator tubing, but it won’t be perfectly straight

any links?

Do you have access to .22 cal BBs? Or just .177

yes

I bet this would work. .239 interior diameter would fit a .22BB or pellet just fine.

you sure?
